Women: Dispossessed Bodies and Territories in the Bajo Atrato Year of publication: 2022 Author: Magda Rocio Martínez Montoya Corporate author: Centro de Investigación y Educación Popular (CINEP) The violence exerted against the bodies of women is also a violence exerted against the territories. For the black, indigenous and mestizo women of the Bajo Atrato, their bodies are a substantive part of the territories and, from there, they have built and defended it. The rivers, swamps and streams are the extension of their arms and legs, waters in which they remain submerged carrying out daily tasks together with other women, their sons and daughters. In said construction and defense, their body-territories have been severely dispossessed and violated. However, they have fought and resisted, and continue to do so despite enormous risks, serious human rights violations and state abandonment.
