RESTREPO YEPES, Olga Cecilia. ¿EL SILENCIO DE LAS INOCENTES?: VIOLENCIA SEXUAL A MUJERES EN EL CONTEXTO DEL CONFLICTO ARMADO. Opin. jurid. [online]. 2007, vol.6, n.11, pp.89-101. ISSN 1692-2530.

Sexual violence against women within the context of the armed conflict in a country that is marked by war and poverty, which is the case of Colombia, has become the bread and butter of daily life. Why is silence kept with these atrocities? Why is there a terrible invisibility over these actions: an invisibility that is accompanied by the deficient presence of the state? This article aims at analyzing this problematic of the Colombian reality. The description and the analyses are based upon the perspectives of radical feminists; and from that posture, some solutions are enunciated. The second part of the article will evaluate what has been stated in the first while expounding some criticisms on those schools that propose such solutions.

Palabras clave : Violence towards women; Colombian armed context; radical feminist school; criticism on the radical feminism; stands of the classical liberalism on violence against women in the armed conflict; Colombian State.
