Reconocer para Incluir: Violencias Basadas en Género y Prácticas Discriminatorias contra la Población lgbtiq+ en un Resguardo de la Comunidad Nasa de Inza - Cauca

Abstract

Diverse sexual orientations have generated social conflict and rejection from those who hold a heteronormative view of the family, considered the nucleus of society in many cultures. This research, entitled "Recognizing to Include: Gender-Based Violence and Discriminatory Practices Against the LGBTQ+ Population," aims to understand the perceptions of Indigenous authorities regarding diverse individuals, both within the family and community contexts. It also seeks to identify gender-based violence and explore strategies to mitigate family and community disharmony, oriented towards inclusive recognition. Adopting a qualitative approach and a Participatory Action Research method, using the dynamic body mapping technique from the perspective of the sex-gender system, this approach allows for an understanding of the perceptions of authorities and the wider community.The results of this research revealed a lack of conceptual understanding regarding diverse sexual orientations and highlighted the various forms of violence to which this population is exposed. It was identified that religious practices significantly influence perceptions and treatment of diverse individuals. At the same time, the authorities recognize the need to continue addressing the issue of coordinating actions with other systems of self-governance. As a community member, I assumed the responsibility of continuing to guide and promote initiatives that favor the inclusion of the LGBTIQ+ population. In conclusion, the acceptance and recognition of diverse sexual orientations require a concrete commitment. It is necessary to systematically incorporate research into the community life plan to ensure sustainable processes of inclusion and respect.
