«We, women, always suffer. The army comes; they rape us. Guerillas come, they rape us, other militarised groups come, they do the same,» says an internally displaced woman from Colombia, Maritza Esther. She tells of seven armed men breaking into her house, raping her 16-year-old daughter and shooting her husband in the face at point-blank range.Women make up half of Colombia’s seven million internally displaced, the second largest number in the world after Syria. All of them are fleeing a brutal civil war raging in the country for more than half a century, and struggling to start over. That’s how lawyer Patricia Guerrero came up with an idea to organise them into a community she called the League of the Displaced Women.
