| description | The article analyzes the situations that girls and young women who have demobilized from the Colombian armed conflict face
due to the fact that they are women in the context of a patriarchal culture. These young ex-combatants, after a process that took
them from childhood to war to the return to civilian life, construct discourses and question power relations in their search for
wellbeing. These women are imprisoned by their contradictory feelings with respect to their gender and this situation will condition
their lives as long as their discourses regarding respect for their gender are not addressed and resignified. Social Work seeks to
question those relations, address discourse that have been silenced, rebuild a feminine identity, and resignify its affective bonds. |
