Reproductive violence: a necessary category of analysis in transitional justice scenarios

On June 18, Women’s Link Worldwide submitted a report to the Colombian Truth Commission regarding reproductive rights violations in the context of the armed conflict. The report seeks to provide information and analysis for the Commission to clarify the practices of reproductive violence carried out by all armed actors, as well as the State’s responsibility for failing to ensure the realisation of reproductive rights of women and girls, and for the obstacles in their access to justice, truth and reparation.
