The exception as norm in Colombia: Attention to gender after the Peace Agreement with the FARC-EP

The Peace Agreement with the FARC-EP has been a pioneer in the incorporation of the Women, Peace and Security agenda in post-conflict processes. The creation of the Gender Sub-Commission, made up of organized civil society, was instituted as an innovative measure that promoted the mainstreaming of the gender approach in the Final Peace Agreement (2016). These provisions have meant an advance in the incorporation of an equitable transitional justice in the country; one that promotes the reparation of the differential impact of violence on women and the LGTBI+ population. For these reasons, this article aims to approach, from a gender perspective, the innovation of the legislative measures developed in Colombia, in the context of exceptionality that characterizes these agreements. The aim is to offer an analysis of the situation that can provide lessons for other transitional justice processes.
