Objective: to analyze the contributions of peace-building women leaders from Medellín's Comuna 1 in the exercise of their community leadership, which contributes to the consolidation of a grassroots peace-building concept and a critical and relational perspective of human rights. Methodology: research of a socio-legal nature with a qualitative approach, developed from a case study with peace-building women leaders of Medellín's Comuna 1. In the execution of the research, documentary (analysis of concepts and specialized literature), conversational (semi-structured interviews) and interactive techniques (field work in the territory) were combined. Results: regular, i.e. daily evidence of peace at the territorial level by women leaders were found, in addition to various expressions of resistance and re-existence aimed at reaffirming human dignity and collective action through ethical-political stakes in building peace in Comuna 1. Conclusions: women leaders who build peace in the studied territory are one step ahead of the hegemonic theory of human rights and the postulates of liberal peace, their understanding and interpretation of society and its conflicts is advanced. This exemplifies very well how one can continue to fight in the sociopolitical sphere for a more just and peaceful society from a grassroots perspective, to materialize continued peace in their neighborhood and community contexts.
