Memory and mourning among forcibly displaced women: narratives of deterritorialisation and practices for community building
Description
The objectives of this study are: To examine the narratives of deterritorialisation of displaced women, identifying the impact of forced displacement on their identities, relationships and sense of belonging. To analyse the forms of memory and mourning that shape women in their processes of adaptation, resistance and reconstruction of life in new territories. To identify community practices developed by displaced women for the reconstruction of the social fabric, highlighting strategies of mutual support, solidarity and resistance. To explore the role of gender in experiences of deterritorialisation and mourning, highlighting the differential impacts and specific forms of coping from the epistemologies of the South. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six Colombian women of legal age who were forcibly displaced in 2025 as a result of the internal conflict in Colombia. They arrived from the Catatumbo region and are currently living in the city of Cúcuta, capital of the Norte de Santander department in Colombia. They are in a vulnerable situation. All participants volunteered and signed an informed consent form. The interviews were conducted in April 2025.
