2019 |聽By Anne-Marie Veillette and Priscyll Anctil Avoine, this chapter emerges from the two fieldwork investigations conducted in Brazil (2016) and Colombia (2015). The first one, carried out in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, aims to understand and analyse the nature and the impacts of police violence, as well as resistance emerging in that context, based on women鈥檚 testimonies. The second one has been implemented with the collaboration of the Colombian Agency for Reintegration and pursued the objective of analysing the narratives of female ex-combatants in order to propose new strategies for the gender approach in reintegration.
