Abstract

Over the past 50 years, Colombian society has experienced a violent conflict between government forces and right-wing paramilitary groups on the one hand, and left-wing guerrilla groups on the other. Moreover, a high proportion of women in Colombia are victims of domestic violence. The present study examines whether there is a correlation between the conflict and violence against women. The findings indicate that the more intense the conflict, the greater the risk of women falling prey to domestic violence.
