Fifty years of violence perpetrated by guerrillas, paramilitaries,
and official armed forces in Colombia displaced more than six
million people. In 2011, as part of a larger transitional justice
process, the Colombian government approved a law that would restore
land rights for those who lost their homes during the conflicts.
However, this restitution process lacked appropriate provisions for
rural women beyond granting them a formal property title. Drawing
on decades of research, Elusive Justice demonstrates how these
women continue to face numerous adverse circumstances, including
geographical isolation, encroaching capitalist enterprises, and a
dearth of social and institutional support. Donny Meertens contends
that women's advocacy organizations must have a prominent role in
overseeing these transitional policies in order to create a more
just society. By bringing together the underresearched topic of
property repayment and the pursuit of gender justice in
peacebuilding, these findings have broad significance elsewhere in
the world.
