Obstáculos y limitaciones que enfrentan los niños, niñas y adolescentes desvinculados de las FARC-EP en el programa de reintegración Camino Diferencial de Vida

Abstract

This work analyzes the main obstacles and limitations that children and adolescents encounter when reintegrating into society through the program “Camino Diferencial de Vida” after having been a member of the FARC-EP. A general framework of the armed conflict in Colombia and the use of children within this organized armed group is presented. Through the experiences of recruitment, the rights violated and the consequences for the reintegration process are identified, and the reintegration route that children and adolescents follow from the moment they leave is also presented. Finally, through reports and figures presented by the State institutions that participate in the process and documented testimonies of former child combatants, it is possible to determine the main obstacles and limitations that arise during the established route that may affect or delay the successful reintegration process. In conclusion, through recommendations, proposals are made that could improve participation and success in the reintegration process, finally, the reader is expected to identify that not only state institutions are the guarantors of successful reintegration, but also society and the family have a determining role.
