Contribuciones de las organizaciones comunitarias a la promoción de la salud mental de niños, niñas, adolescentes y jóvenes en el Pacífico colombiano
This article examines the essential work carried out by community-based organizations in three municipalities of Colombia’s Pacific region marked by a history of conflict and political violence: Buenaventura, Quibdó, and Tumaco. The study focuses on understanding how these entities actively contribute to fostering the emotional well-being and mental health of children, adolescents, and youth, who represent a particularly vulnerable population wit…
Growing up amidst violence: Mapping mental health ecologies with young people on Colombia’s Pacific Coast
To promote mental wellbeing, we identify the significance of safe spaces where young people are able to talk and connect to others and where trusted persons can connect young people to the wider exosystem of mental health care provision and to social, economic, peacebuilding and wider political processes

Interdisciplinary perspectives on gendered violence and resistance in Latin America
Latin America has been the backdrop of colonial extraction, military dictatorships and armed conflicts, while it has also been characterised by its strong social movements, political organising and solidarity.Although these phenomena are gendered, diverse and intersectional gendered experiences have been insufficiently recognised in academic research.This article introduces a collection that questions mainstream understandings of how gendered vio…
Using Participatory and Creative Methods to Research Gender-Based Violence in the Global South and With Indigenous Communities: Findings From a Scoping Review
This review provides a synthesis of existing research on best practice recommendations for the use of participatory and creative methods to research gender-based violence in the Global South. Following a five-stage scoping review process, 44 papers, which each related to at least two of the three parts of the topic, were selected for inclusion. A frequency table was compiled to identify the elements of best practice, which were most common across…
‘White Child Gone Bankrupt’—The Intersection of Race and Poverty in Youth Fathered by UN Peacekeepers
Children fathered and abandoned by United Nations peacekeepers are an unintended consequence of peacekeeping operations. Research suggests that the social identity of peacekeeper-fathered children (PKFC) is complex and contradictory. While economically disadvantaged, PKFC's biracial background confers elements of racial privilege. Using the Democratic Republic of Congo as a case study, the present research evaluates the impact of racial differenc…
UNsupported: The Needs and Rights of Children Fathered by UN Peacekeepers in the Democratic Republic of Congo
Sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) by United Nations (UN) peacekeepers causes severe physical and psychological consequences. Where SEA leads to pregnancy and childbirth, peacekeepers typically absolve themselves of their paternal responsibilities and paternity suits are largely unsuccessful. The lack of support for peacekeeper-fathered children (PKFC) tarnishes the image of the UN who fails to implement a victim-centred approach to SEA. Analysi…
Resilience, Adaptive Peacebuilding and Transitional Justice: How Societies Recover after Collective Violence
Processes of post-war reconstruction, peacebuilding and reconciliation are partly about fostering stability and adaptive capacity across different social systems. Nevertheless, these processes have seldom been expressly discussed within a resilience framework. Similarly, although the goals of transitional justice – among them (re)establishing the rule of law, delivering justice and aiding reconciliation – implicitly encompass a resilience element…
Defying the Victim-Perpetrator Binary: Female Ex-combatants in Colombia and Guatemala as Complex Political Perpetrators∞
Victimhood has become central to the field of transitional justice, leading to rather simplified ideas about and rigid distinctions between victims and perpetrators. Female ex-combatants tend to be regarded in stereotypical ways, either as victims of forced recruitment or as deviant monsters. In reality, their experiences are often more complex, and can consist not only of having participated in but also having suffered violence, both direct and …
Towards Ethical International Research Partnerships in Gender-Based Violence Research: Insights From Research Partners in Kenya
Research with survivors of gender-based violence in low- and middle-income countries is important to improve understanding of experiences of violence and the policies that can help combat it. But this research also implies risks for survivors, such as re-traumatization, safety concerns, and feelings of exploitation. These risks are magnified if research is undertaken by researchers from high-income countries, whose positionality produces power in…
From gender-blind to gender-transformative reintegration: Women’s experiences with social reintegration in Guatemala
Disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration (DDR) processes have become a standard component of international peace and security programming. Yet, in spite of increasing attention to the need for gender-sensitive DDR in policy and academic debates, the stereotypical ways in which female ex-combatants have traditionally been addressed have led to inadequate gendered reintegration policies. This article describes the effects of a gender-blind re…
Trapped between Promise and Reality in Colombia's Victims' Law: Reflections on Reparations, Development and Social Justice
Colombia's 2011 Victims' Law aims to return land to millions of internally displaced people and assist survivors in the difficult process of rebuilding their lives through individual and collective reparations. This article analyses the expectations, experiences and needs of two campesino communities involved in this process. Drawing on nine months of fieldwork using ethnographic and participatory visual methods, the article critically engages wi…

Participatory Visual Research with Displaced Persons: ‘Listening’ to Post-conflict Experiences through the Visual
Research with refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and other marginalized groups entails complexities that make it imperative to think through the ethical and methodological strategies to not only ‘do no harm’, but also allow the research to be valuable for the participants. This article contributes to this methodological debate by demonstrating how participatory visual research offers an innovative tool for democratizing research and av…
From Victims and Mothers to Citizens: Gender-Just Transformative Reparations and the Need for Public and Private Transitions
Colombia’s 2011 Victims’ Law is often seen as an example of best practice in transitional justice, combining land restitution and individual and collective reparations. This law builds on the increasingly popular concept of transformative reparations and moreover prescribes a ‘differential focus’ to guarantee the inclusion and protection of groups considered to be especially vulnerable. Based on nine months of ethnographic and participatory visua…
