GALLEGO-MONTES, Gabriel. Prostitution in Armed Conflict Contexts in Colombia. CS [online]. 2020, n.31, pp.413-437. ISSN 2011-0324.  https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i31.3508.

This article presents two cases of victimization of female sex workers in the armed conflict context in the cities of Manzanares and Samaná, Caldas. In methodological terms, the research was presented from a qualitative perspective that establishes a centrality of the survivors and witnesses’ testimony and narrative of the facts that allow the key reconstruction of historical memory. The findings allow to infer that tolerance zones, bars, and canteens where prostitution is exercised are configured in small mountain villages, border places, thresholds between urban and rural areas, red zones and time bombs as they constitute centers of information circulation and social regulation by regular and irregular armies, making them a perfect target for actions of social cleansing and forced displacement based on stigma and the signaling of cooperation to opposing armies.
