Acompañar a mujeres víctimas de violencia sexual en escenarios de conflicto armadoOrientaciones con enfoque de género para la atención integral

Abstract

It is proposed to understand different orientations to accompany women victims of sexual violence in scenes of armed conflict and war, considering the gender approach and comprehensive care. For this purpose, I consulted documentary sources from the UN, Amnesty International, ICRC, governmental and non-governmental organizations, theoretical referents, and I conducted semi-structured interviews with professionals in Colombia, Guatemala, and Bosnia and Herzegovina to learn from their professional knowledge derived from their experience in the attendance of victims. The study is qualitative, a spiral process, beginning with the content analysis of the interviews, followed by a deductive and inductive analysis. The triangulated results of the analyzes show good practices, lessons learned, and similar and unique aspects in the three countries. The emerging categories offer guidelines for comprehensive support that should be considered: deprivatizing pain, no harm action, ethics of care and self-care, resilience, intersectionality and sisterhood.
