Protection of women in Colombia, an analysis in the context of the armed conflict
Journal Title: RHS-Revista Humanismo y Sociedad - Year 2020, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
The Colombian armed conflict is the only confrontation originated in the 20th century that is still running active in the American continent, whose main feature is the combat between left-and-right-wing armed groups and the national government. In the midst of the confrontation, civilians have been the main victims, particularly women, who have suffered the greatest consequences. Through a review of literature, this paper presents the regulatory and institutional structure available to Colombian women for protecting their rights in the context of the armed conflict. The results show that, while national and international laws are in place to protect women’s rights, the patriarchal culture rooted in Colombian society as well as the dynamics of the domestic justice system result in the lack of legal certainty for protecting the integrity of Colombian women.
