The role of women in the Colombian internal armed conflict

Abstract

Definition of femicide in relation to gender-based violence [GBV] implies, on the one hand, the recognition of what is relevant to the context of discrimination and aggression that ends with addressing violence against women for being or for gender identity and, on the other hand, a polemical element that differentiates this type of violence against the breadth of the concept of gender equally open to the range of possibilities to be understood with equity when it comes to other people who by their condition are equally
violent. This paper makes a breakthrough in research for the discussion of the concepts gender, gender, orientation, identity and gender expression, to take into account the scope  of gender-based violence in contrast to the legal definition Contained for femicide in Colombian legislation.
