ABSTRACT

Due to the characteristics of forced migration in Latin America over the last 20 years, the size of domestically displaced people expanded and the number of displaced people increased due to the increase in violation based on gender, in addition to the longer period of displacement and existing causes of displacement. Forced displacement spread by focusing on the natives and African descendants in the armed conflict situation of Latin America. Extreme violence towards displaced people occurred as a result of discrimination and inequality based on power that is rooted in patriarchal traditional culture of the Latin American society. Persecution of gender was developed at par with everyday violence that is inherent in society, not in special circumstances like armed conflicts. Regional conflict's special circumstances and vulnerability, and needs have been underestimated in studies on forced displacement in Latin America. Inspired by these points, this study attempts to examine the characteristics of forced migration and gender persecution in Latin America by focusing on cases of regional conflict among people displaced in Columbia where the most domestically displaced people in the world have been kept.
