Comparing the learning experiences of Indigenous women in post-conflict periods: Umoja, Kenya and Chorrera, Colombia
I conducted fieldwork in Umoja village, Samburu County, Kenya and Chorrera County, Colombia. These countries have a history of gender violence against Indigenous women and this violence often continues into contemporary times. Conversations about contemporary violence against Indigenous women in Chorrera's educational spaces-high school or the workshops of the local Indigenous organization-during the post-conflict period are painful and uncomfort…
Reparations for Indigenous Women Subjected to Sexual and Environmental Violence in the Colombian Post-Peace Agreement
∞ The peace agreement with the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia involved both gender- and ethnic-based approaches. However, crimes against the sexual freedom and integrity of indigenous women and related territorial rights reparations continue to be problematic. Notably, no in-depth knowledge exists regarding the individual and collective effects of sexual and environmental violence on indigenous women, the obstacles hindering their ac…
The dialectics of leadership identity construction: Case studies from Indigenous women leaders
Challenging oversimplified models, the leader identity literature calls for new perspectives of leadership identity construction (LIC). Using a collective leadership lens and narrative methods, this collaborative study explores how Indigenous women’s leadership identities develop within a contest for power and voice. Observations, interviews, and micro-ethnographies helped identify how history, community dynamics and cultural contradictions influ…
To pay, heal, and repair Mother Earth in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta: Experiences of indigenous women’s reparation in the implementation of the Colombian Peace Accord
This paper describes collaborative research with Wiwa and Arhuaco women concerning local reparations with an intersectional perspective on the Colombian post-conflict agreement. Our central argument is that indigenous women’s processes, experiences, and expectations of reparation reflect a wish to engage in a dialogue with the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) through its Works, Projects or Activities (TOAR) so that their perspectives on and c…
Memorias no contadas: Mujeres excombatientes de las Farc en el Caribe colombiano

Objetivo. El artículo explora las memorias que resguardan los relatos de un grupo de mujeres excombatientes en proceso…
Arhuaco indigenous women’s memories and the Colombian Truth Commission: Methodological gaps and political tensions
The Truth, Peaceful Coexistence, and Non-Repetition Commission (CEV) is one of the transitional justice mechanisms contained in the peace agreement signed between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) guerrilla in 2016. The CEV mainstreams gender and ethnic differential approaches and is also the first to actively deploy intersectionality as a framework to approach violence committed against women of ethni…
Experiences of Spiritual Advocacy for Land and Territorial Itineraries for the Defense of Wiwa Women’s Rights in Postconflict Colombia
This article explores Wiwa female spiritual advocacy in the Colombian Caribbean region during the postconflict period. The methodologies and practices of indigenous communities have been underappreciated in transitional justice literature about land and property rights. This article seeks to analyze spiritual and territorial advocacy by local indigenous women for the defense of their lands and their collective rights. We examine intercultural and…
Indigenous Micropolitics of Reconciliation in Jimaín, Colombia
The Colombian postconflict period requires titanic efforts on the part of the local government of the Arhuaco of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, caught between their own ancestral battles and the demands of central government institutions that may not even reach this region to administer justice and reintegration for territorial peace building. The reintegration of Arhuaco ex-combatants into their home communities has posed one of the greatest …
Fostering solidarity for gender/ethnic reincorporation: The Experience of Female Indigenous Ex-Combatants in Tierra Grata, Cesar
This investigation was developed during the first stage of the implementation of the peace accords in the Transit Normalization Hamlet Zone (TNHZ) of Tierra Grata, Cesar, Colombia in 2017. Through interviews, discussions and ethnographic observation, we reconstructed the trajectories of two indigenous women who contributed to the ethnic reincorporation of female Fuerza Autónoma Revolucionaria del Común (FARC) ex-combatants on a micro-local level.…
Kaleidoscopes of violence against indigenous women (Vaiw) in Colombia: The experiences of Pan-Amazonian women
This article presents the life stories of six indigenous women from the Amazonian region, who coordinate local women processes through indigenous organizations and networks. Since the political and legal visibility of violence against indigenous women in Colombia is weak and limited, we aim to analyze their experiences from an intersectional perspective. For this purpose, we employed multiple methodologies, including body mapping and social carto…
Seven women in The Bath of Remembrance: One narrator and three surrealistic indigenous women in the Amazon
This study analyses the relationships between intercultural education, women’s painful memories, and collective leadership using an art installation, The Bath. Some of the processes and materials generated during the creation of the installation are presented. This experience of intercultural education in an Amazonian territory is part of a collective process involving a group of indigenous women as well as a team of students and professors, in w…
Decolonial Sketches and Intercultural Approaches to Truth: Corporeal Experiences and Testimonies of Indigenous Women in Colombia
This article explores the corporeal and testimonial memories of a group of female indigenous ex-combatants and victims in the Colombian Caribbean and Amazon. Although these groups have often been analyzed in the transitional justice literature, our primary objective is to analyze two local processes for retrieving indigenous women's memories and possible feminist participatory action research methodologies in the Colombian postconflict context. W…
The Colombian Transitional Process: Comparative Perspectives on Violence against Indigenous Women
Colombia has a comprehensive system of truth, justice and reparation stemming from its history with the justice and peace process and its most recent peace agreement. Although indigenous women are the most affected before, during and after conflict, their participation is marginalized within this political context. This article discusses how Colombian transitional justice can be reconfigured when indigenous women’s practices and knowledge travel …
Memory and resilience among Uitoto women: Closed baskets and gentle words to invoke the pain of the Colombian Amazon
This article aims to connect the remembrance of historical events of extreme violence against indigenous Amazon populations with the course of interdisciplinary reflection on trauma and historical memory. It centers its analysis on the narratives and experiences of a group of indigenous Uitoto women whose ancestors were enslaved under the rubber regime of the Casa Arana, seeking to identify their strategies for redeeming memory in a positive mann…
Etnicidad, género y educación superior. Trayectorias de dos mujeres arhuacas en Colombia
Nos preguntamos en este texto, ¿cómo han enfrentado estas lideresas las restricciones culturales frente a las exigencias de la vida pública ¿Cómo han creado una amalgama de capitales y saberes diversos en el marco de sus liderazgos? Los principales elementos teóricos utilizados en este trabajo son: la perspectiva sociológica y la Teoría de los campos de Bourdieu, los estudios sobre interseccionalidad de Lorde (1984) y Pratt-Clarke (2010), los est…
Lorenzo Muelas y el constitucionalismo indígena “desde abajo”: Una retrospectiva crítica sobre el proceso constituyente de 1991
This paper focuses on indigenous newcomers to the political field in the 1990’s. Drawing on the repertoire of human rights and the principle of self-determination, they have tried to penetrate such field in order to subvert the hierarchy of political competition. These representatives, initially dominated, managed to be part of the constitutional drafting. Although their social position in that stage was far from ideal, they were able to generate…
Bonne gouvernance » contre « auto-gouvernance » ? Conflits, alliances et résistances autour d'un programme européen de développement rural en Colombie
