Abstract

The objective of this study was to understand what factors led the Afro women victim of the armed conflict in the municipality of Quibdó, Choco to be resilient and accept reconciliation despite the damage caused to both them and their families, visualizing which factors They insisted that these female victims accept reconciliation. 

For the development of this work, information was searched in databases such as Springer, Sciencedirect, Scielo and Google Academic, regulations for the protection of women in Colombia, as well as official documents and reports from the Colombian Constitutional Court, the National Center for Historical Memory, the National Information Network at the service of Victims, the United Nations, MAPP / OEA, Amnesty International, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and Human Right Watch, among others, and subsequently a documentary analysis of how this has produced decisive effects for reconciliation in women in the municipality of Quibdó, Chocó. 

One of the main findings shows how the internal armed conflict affects women in a differential way, through mechanisms or instruments of war that respond to patriarchal characteristics typical of Colombian society. This results in the development of a series of victimizing events, such as sexual abuse, sexual slavery, death, torture, forced pregnancies and abortions, displacement, physical and psychological violence, among others. These events have been used as a method of warfare by armed groups outside the law and by certain sectors of the public force, in a premeditated and systematic manner.
