Violence and Resistance: Displaced Indigenous Women from Colombia
Keywords:
gender identity, ethnic identity, violence, resistanceAbstract
This paper tackles the violence perpetrated against indigenous women who are situated in the Colombian conflict, and who are forcefully displaced. We argue that, on the one hand, this violence is related to their gender and ethnic identities. On the other, that the condition of victimhood in these situations brings with it new strategies of resistance. Finally, indigenous women generate new discourses in which they take a position as agents of their own changes, politicize the difference, and re-formulate their gender and ethnic identities.
