Experiencias de la Reincorporación Feminista: el Camino Pedagógico Hacia la Paz

Abstract

After an internal armed conflict of more than 50 years, thousands of victims and decades of negotiations, in 2016 the peace agreement was signed between the Colombian State and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia-people's army (FARC-EP). Currently, the country is in a period of transition and implementation of the agreements, where ex-combatants are working on their reincorporation into civilian life. This research theoretically takes the feminist approach, which provides the perspective from the struggle of women and their efforts to reach the equality of opportunities in the different dimensions (social, economical, political, and so on) and to do a structural transformation about the appreciations that occur in a world configured from the masculine. The research takes an exploratory - qualitative methodology, based on 4 interviews done by mass media, 1 interview and 3 reports from the Agency for Reincorporation and Standardization (ARN) and 1 report from the UN verification Mission in Colombia; for the analysis of these sources, the following will be taken as categories: Experiences, Reincorporation process and Community work. From the voice of ex-combatants who are in a peaceful setting, the experiences during the conflict, in their reincorporation process and in their community work are highlighted. Excombatant women recognize themselves, understand their importance in society and claim the need for a just, equal and peaceful Colombia. They contribute to the construction of the social fabric from experience, generate empowerment and work with the objective of consolidating a stable and lasting peace
