The body of Colombian woman is a battleground

A catalogue of sexual violence has accompanied the armed conflict in Colombia. The peace talks must not brush it under the carpet. A group of 60 victims of the Colombian armed conflict last month spoke to representatives of the government and the guerrilla of the FARC, who have been engaged in peace talks in Havana, Cuba, since November 2012. It’s time to impress on both parties to the negotiations the need to address the plight of the Colombian women and girls who have been victims of sexual violence in the context of the conflict. A recent report, Colombia: Women, Conflict-Related Violence and the Peace Process , published by Sisma Mujer , ABColombia and the NGO US Office on Colombia, documents the sexual violence to which women have been subjected in this context.
