Collective Action in Women Who Have Experienced Wars
The cases of The Women's Court in the Balkans (2015), the diverse women's groups that cooperated with the Colombian Truth Commission (2022) and organizations of migrant women in several Mediterranean countries, show how women's collectives work to promote mutual support, protection and ultimately the search for alternative ways to justice, aiming always to avoid violence and its impacts. The frameworks used to present these cases are based on gender, generational, ethnic, and communities' perspectives.
