“Gender violence outside of sexual violence is an issue that is still being explored judicially in Colombia,” said Urueña. In that way, he said, the case is breaking new ground., the JEP found that 35,178 Colombians were subjected to gender-based crimes between 1957 and 2016. The crimes were manifold and cover sexual violence, nonconsensual abortions, and coerced domestic work, among other offenses.
“The armed actors quickly understood that controlling the territories implied controlling women, and for this it was necessary to control their lives and bodies, and break the social fabric,” wrote the Truth Commission in its When the JEP launched in 2017, it began to categorize thousands of individual cases into larger “macro cases,” which investigated particular crimes, such as kidnappings or extrajudicial killings, or regions of the country where the violence was concentrated. Gender-based crimes were investigated as part of these other cases, but advocates say that this approach didn’t do enough to explain why these crimes were widespread and committed by all sides.
