Abstract

In the Department of Caquetá, Colombia, the armed conflict had its maximum expression, its greatest and most painful presence, affecting the population in all its municipalities and villages. Since the signing of the peace agreement between the National Government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), regional researchers, particularly, young researchers have been approaching a reality that before, due to the barbarity of the conflict and its territorial settlement, had not been able to do it. The war and its effects on populations have been a major subject of analysis for our research groups; Inti Wayra and Mandala de Pensamiento. We are a group of students, teachers, and researchers affected by the armed conflict who are rescuing our testimonies to understand what happened in our region for the last 20 years. This article presents how women have overcome sexual violence and other forms of violence through sisterhood and solidarity.
