The article addresses the phenomenon of sexual violence within the framework of the application of Law 975 of 2005, known as Justice and Peace Law and related reforms. Its provisions are examined in the light of the most relevant documents of the international humanitarian law and national regulations on the protection and guarantee of women's rights, in order to establish the mechanisms focused on obtaining truth, justice and reparation for victims of sexual violence. Subsequently, the obstacles that impede access to justice and reparation for this special category of victims are identified. In the conclusions, some alternatives to overcome them are proposed.

Keywords : sexual violence; victims; justice and peace.
