Women, Peace and Territory: Peacebuilding in Colombia through Ethnic and Gender Approaches
Abstract
Indigenous women have gone through different types of inequalities linked, historically, to their female gender and ethnicity. Their extensive fight against discrimination has led them to be more vulnerable to violations of their rights. The non-international armed conflict experienced in Colombia has aggravated and magnified this pernicious situation. In this context, the relevance of the role of indigenous women in the construction of peace is analyzed by means of their involvement in the Final Agreement with the FARC-EP and the current panorama at the negotiating table with the ELN. Similarly, a large number of challenges and threats facing this path towards total peace are exposed. Las mujeres indígenas han atravesado distintos tipos de desigualdades vinculadas, históricamente, a su género femenino y a su etnia. Su extensa lucha contra la discriminación las ha llevado a ser más vulnerables ante las violaciones de sus derechos. El conflicto armado interno vivido en Colombia ha agravado y magnificado esta perniciosa situación. En este contexto, se analiza la relevancia del papel de la mujer indígena en la construcción de paz, con su participación en el Acuerdo Final con las FARC-EP y el panorama actual en la mesa de negociaciones con el ELN. Asimismo, se exponen un gran número de retos y amenazas a las que se enfrenta este camino hacia la paz total.
