El presente artículo analiza las violencias sufridas por las mujeres indígenas situadas en el escenario de conflicto armado colombiano y desplazadas forzosamente. En este artículo trata-remos de poner de manifiesto, por un lado, que dichas violencias están relacionadas con sus identidades de género y etnia. Por otro, que la condición de víctimas trae consigo estrategias de resistencia. Y finalmente, que desde los discursos y prácticas que están generando se posicionan como agentes de sus propios cambios, politizando la diferencia y re-formulando sus identida-des de género y etnia. PALABRAS CLAVE: identidad de género, identidad étnica, violencia, resistencia. Violence and Resistance: Displaced Indigenous Women from Colombia This paper tackles the violence perpetrated against indigenous women who are situated in the Colombian conflict, and who are forcefully displaced. We argue that, on the one hand, this violence is related to their gender and ethnic identities. On the other, that the condition of victimhood in these situations brings with it new strategies of resistance. Finally, indigenous women generate new discourses in which they take a position as agents of their own changes, politicize the difference, and re-formulate their gender and ethnic identities.
