【 摘 要 】

The early entry of women into illegal armed groups implies experiences that transmute traditional gender roles, the body care, the construction of sexuality and subjectivities. Within the war structure, and later, in the process of reintegration, women face multiple decisions in the different stages of their sexuality development. With the end of the armed conflict with the FARC-EP, they are confronting a new stage of their lives, moving from a context characterized by fear, violence and state negligence, to assume other social positions as future agents of change. The aim of this article is to reflect on the corporal dimensions of women in the Colombian guerrillas in order to contrast the impact of violence and conflict on the constitution of subjectivities from a sexual and gender dimension. As such, the methodology is qualitative, drawing upon literature review and some observations from previous works and research carried out with the local organization Corporación Decontamina.
