This work analyzes from applied social research the memory processes led by women victims of the armed conflict organized in the Colombian Network of Places of Memory to value the potential for reconciliation, counterhegemonic and transformative reconstruction of memory in a context such as the Colombian, that combines the implementation of peace agreements with an active armed conflict. The results show the need to consider women and the gendered subjects of memories as heterogeneous and crossed by various structures of domination, whose work for the reconstruction of memory has allowed them to occupy political and decision-making spaces reserved only for men. Thus, the processes of memory reconstruction that they can potentially transform not only the hegemonic story about the conflict, but also the production of new relationships and gender roles.

Keywords : collective memory; gendered memories; gender; armed conflict; violence.
