This policy paper results from a collaboration between Corporación Alianza Iniciativa de Mujeres Colombianas por la Paz – IMP and the research project Addressing Postcolonial Legacies in Transitional Justice, which forms part of the UKRI Gender, Justice and Security Hub. The report is based on in-depth interviews with 16 women peacebuilders located throughout Colombia.

This video is based on research conducted by Angelika Rettberg and colleagues on the meanings and the factors shaping reconciliation in Colombia.
