This text aims to identify and to understand the social representations of women displaced by the Colombian armed conflict in the village of Granizal and the Municipality of Turbo, Antioquia, regarding transitional processes in post-agreement scenarios in Colombia. The methodology was based on the phenomenological-hermeneutic approach through in-depth and semi-structured interviews. The results of this research show that faced with the impact and consequences of forced displacement, women have built individual and collective forms of coping and resistance for the reconstruction of their lives, being the transitional processes and actions of the State inefficient to guarantee access to their rights. Hence, they daily face conditions of exclusion, poverty, and violence, which allows them to affirm that the transitional discourse of the Colombian State can be banal and deceiving.

Keywords : Forced Displacement; Social Representations; Transitional Justice; Truth; Reparation; and Human Rights..
