Abstract

During the last military dictatorship most of the kidnapped women suffered specific forms of violence by their gender. In most cases, these practices were invisibilized in research, in the memories and, until recently, in the reparation policies. Many women have tried to recount their experiences but couldn't find the required conditions of audibility nor in the field of justice, nor within their families and sometimes not even in the human rights organizations. Complaints of sexual violence were part of CONADEP's research and could be heard during the Trial of the Juntas in 1985. However, these criminal charges nor were considered in its specificity in that instance, neither elicited subsequent investigations, even though the offenses against the sexual integrity were excluded from the law of Due Obedience, the Full Stop law and pardons sanctioned during the 80's and 90's. Why the testimonies of these women have not been heard? What difficulties the survivors have found to tell their experiences? In this paper we intend to investigate the changes and continuities in the audibility of these testimonies and the causes of these changes. With that aim I will mainly analyze three interviews I carried out for the documentary "A field of battle, a woman's body" (Fernando Alvarez, 2012). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
