IBARRA MELO, María Eugenia. Women, truth, justice and reparation in Colombia. univ.humanist. [online]. 2011, n.72, pp.247-273. ISSN 0120-4807.

This paper account for the main collective actions undertaken by two women networks in Colombia: Women's Peace Route and the Colombian Women Initiative for Peace, during transition justice process and the implementation of the Justice and Peace Law (2004-2009). From a sociological approach to the political process and the gender category, this paper discusses how gender ideologies inform new ways of mobilization affecting discourses, purposes and repertoires of those claiming identities and defending human rights. The main conclusion here is that the feminist influence in redistribution and acknowledgement claims for victims from the armed conflict have encouraged collective actions that begin to modify their relationship to the State. This is proved by their achievements at Court and social acknowledgement victims have gained as social actors.

Palabras clave : Women; collective action; truth; justice; reparation.
