Project: “Transitional Justice in Colombia: Participation opportunities for rural women in the construction of historic memory and clarification of the truth (2003-2019)”

---

During the last two decades, two important political phenomena have emerged globally: A “Justice Cascade” (Sikkink,2018:9) that advocates for a greater individual penal responsibility for human right crimes and violations in the contexts of dictatorships or internal armed conflicts. At the same time, this claim for justice has been accompanied by a “boom in memory”, which emphasizes construction of the memories. These are selected and reinterpreted according to cultural sensibilities, ethical questions and political interests of the present (Traverso, 2007:67-68). The transitional justice processes have focused on memory as a space of elaboration of the past and projection towards the future, one of the most important actors in these processes are rural women claiming for land protection and environmental rights.

The objective of this project is to study the factors that have allowed the mobilization of rural women around the construction of historic memory and the right to the truth during the last few years (2003-2019) in the context of transitional justice in Colombia. This qualitative research focuses on the analysis of temporality relationships between past, present and future. This project revolves around how rural women build memory from a gender and intersectionality approach. The perspective considers the different inequalities and oppressions to which women are subjected in the short and long term due to their rurality, gender and ethnicity. The study contributes to the discussion on how rural women movements craft memories to understand a violent past with the aim of proposing agendas for enjoying social and economic rights, strengthening democracy and building sustainable peace.
