Gender and transitional justice in Colombia, a look from law 1257 of 2008

Abstract

This article analyzes the implications of Law 1257 of 2008, in the development of national public policy to prevent, sanction and eradicate all forms of violence and discrimination against women: types of violence, historical recount, study of strategies and impacts and its relation with the transitional processes that have been advanced in the country. Likewise, it analyzes the recommendations of international organizations for the protection of human rights and the obligations contained in different international instruments in the transitional process that is being carried out in the country as a way out of the armed conflict. He concludes by affirming that freedom is the fundamental condition of all growth and that women gain working spaces and political discussion, despite the fact that the different transitional mechanisms implemented do not make their rights visible.
