This paper seeks to describe and analyze the ways in which intimate partner violence happens in Vetas and California between the years 2008 and 2015. Vetas and California are in the center of a social and environmental conflict due to the gold mining projects in the region (Santurbán). This project uses statistical and discursive analysis to describe and explore the effects that the conflict causes on women, specifically their vulnerability for sufferingintimate partner violence. In that sense, the research shows there are three factors that underline the phenomena in Vetasand California: A strong sexual division of labor, the Mining industry and alcohol abuse. The authorities should create public policies in Vetas and California that address the effects of Santurbán's social and environmental conflict on women.

Keywords : Gender based violence; intimate partner violence; Colombia; mining; Santurbán.
