    Feminist Trajectories from Peru to Colombia: Taking Violence Experienced by Women into Account in Truth Commissions
    (Routledge, 2023-01-01)
    International human rights law has long ignored women’s realities, reproducing an epistemological blind spot that has impacted transitional justice mechanisms such as truth commissions. In the early 2000s, this blind spot was challenged by Peru’s Comisión de la Verdad y Reconciliación (CVR; Truth and Reconciliation Commission). The lessons learned in Peru about including gender in transitional justice processes have nourished the application of transitional justice in Colombia. This article examines the inclusion of a gender perspective in Peru’s CVR and highlights the advances and lessons that inform Colombia’s Comisión para el Esclarecimiento de la Verdad, la Convivencia y la No Repetición (CEV; Commission for the Clarification of Truth, Coexistence, and Non-Repetition). Furthermore, it underscores the innovative contributions of Latin American decolonial and communitarian feminisms to reframing the inclusion of gender in the context of Colombia’s CEV. We argue that these feminisms allow the recognition that “woman” is a plural subject intersected by race and class; challenge liberal feminist conceptions of gender; propose a reconceptualization of time; provide a historical explanation of the reasons behind violence against women; and give an important centrality to nature, territory, and the sacred in the explanation of violence and in peacebuilding.

    “Not All Old Age Is the Same”: Human Rights of Older Women and the Importance of the Gender Perspective
    (Universidad Externado de Colombia, 2023-05-01)
    The progressive incorporation of the gender approach to International Human Rights Law has allowed the recognition of the human rights of women and the identification of particular effects, such as sexual violence or femicide. Now, an intersectional approach is important to identify the diversity among women and recognize the situations that they go through due to certain conditions, such as, for example, age. The article focuses on the analysis and recognition of the human rights of older women, highlighting the continuity of gender violence and discrimination that begins in childhood and determines the reality of women when they reach old age, emphasizing in cases of sexual violence, forced motherhood, the role of care assumed by older women as well as their contribution to the search for justice in cases of forced disappearance.

    “¿Y si yo lo encuentro, qué?”: El rol de las mujeres buscadoras en la lucha por la verdad, la justicia y la memoria
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2025-08-27)
    As widely recognized, enforced disappearance constitutes a complex and continuous violation of human rights under international law. It may also be classified as a crime against humanity when it forms part of a systematic or widespread practice, in accordance with international standards. Due to its profound impact, international jurisprudence has recognized not only the disappeared person as a victim, but also their relatives. In this context, particular attention must be given to the women who, in the face of state inaction, have devoted their lives to the search for their missing loved ones, an endeavor that has affected them in numerous and significant ways. For this reason, it is essential to incorporate a gender perspective when analyzing these violations and their impacts, not only at the moment of disappearance, but also in relation to the life projects of the victims’ families, in which it is often women who lead and sustain the search processes. This article aims to review the international standards on enforced disappearance and then focus on the specific situation of women, highlighting the role of women searchers and the progress made in this area at the international level. Through the analysis of specific cases, the text seeks to make visible the contributions of women in the search for the disappeared, as well as the urgent need for public policies that acknowledge their struggle and respond to their particular circumstances.
