Abstract

A close look to an internal armed conflict like Colombia has lived enables the recognition and encounter with the historical truth and its shocking existing consequences of a society that still endures some of those concerns. This article explores from the narratives of black women the distress and the consequences left by the displacement that has, also, made of them victims of the conflict as well as to make a contribution to the admission of the violation to their rights and the victimization that the displacement implies. Those contributions are achieved by way of the use of a qualitative methodology, with historical hermeneutical approach relying on testimonies and semi structured interviews through which with the bravery of the victims, an approximation to this enriching culture of African heritage is obtained.
