This article is based on a Social Work research project that attempts to highlight historical situations of discrimination suffered by women deprived of their liberty after the demobilization of various armed groups in Colombia: the National Liberation Army (eln), the People's Liberation Army (epl) and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, People's Army (farc-ep). This paper focuses on the establishment of Gender Justice. On the basis of first-hand testimonials, it gathers the experiences of some of these women and the violations and forms of violence they have suffered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this paper is to analyze the transformation process of the Colombian Army between 1960 and 1965, which was driven by the political decisions of the rulers, the intervention of the Armed Forces, and by factual gambles made by the military to eliminate the first revolutionary guerillas. Through this, we expect to argue two hypotheses: first that the relationship between the Army and the civilian government was ambiguous during a period of institutional transition; and, second, that political subordination and military autonomy were breached by the intromission of military players in the political scene, and by rulers in the military scene.
