Reseña

The book focuses about the women victims of the armed conflict in the municipality of San Juan Nepomuceno, Bolivar. It shows how their needs were addressed in three dimensions: (a) first, individual and collective psychological wounds were considered, which, although not as visible as physical wounds, are more permanent and easily inherited by future generations; (b) second, the recognition of the gifts, talents, creativities, and capacities of women victims and heads of household, which the aftermath of the armed conflict had marginalized and prevented them from developing were explored and facilitated; (c) third, actual alternatives for healing were offered, allowing this group of women to make use of their capacities from the social and family context.
