The Gendered Dynamics of Conflict and Peacebuilding in Colombia *

Cristal Downing, Angela Olaya, and Sofía Rivas

Noviembre 2021

This report is based on data collected from April to May 2021 as part of a phone survey of community members in 11 municipalities across Colombia. It presents findings on gender roles and stereotypes in Colombia, gendered attitudes towards the use of different types of violence, and gendered experiences of fear of ex-combatants. This data may be useful to government, UN, and NGO partners working in Colombia to support their policies and programming to break down gender inequalities and ensure a gendered approach to reconciliation in Colombia, including through implementation of the 2016 peace agreement between the Government and the FARC-EP. The report ends with an examination of key policy and programmatic implications of these findings.
