| description | This case study examines the participation of women affected by the armed conflict in productive initiatives in the departments of Nariño, Cauca, and Valle del Cauca. Under the direction of the NGO Alliance for Solidarity, the study covers experiences in urban and rural areas, highlighting the importance of rural women who face different types of violence and forced displacement. Various productive experiences were systematized, from community gardens to food processing, and a timeline was reconstructed that reflects the victimizing events, the arrival of institutions and NGOs, and the development of legally constituted productive initiatives in 2017. The reconstruction of the experience is framed within the '7 Capitals of the Community,' addressing human, social, cultural, political, natural, financial-productive, and infrastructural aspects. An empowerment survey evaluated five spheres, showing an increase in empowerment in Afro-descendant communities in Nariño (from 62.9% to 78.7%), mestizo women in Tambo, Cauca (from 46.4% to 97.8%), and indigenous women in Valle del Cauca (from 50% to 80%). Productive initiatives and gender training are essential for empowerment as they contribute to the reconstruction of the social fabric and rural development. Successful experiences have a positive impact on local processes. |

Este estudio de caso examina la participación de la mujer afectada por el conflicto armado en iniciativas productivas de los departamentos de Nariño, Cauca y Valle del Cauca. Bajo la dirección de la ONG Alianza por la Solidaridad, el estudio abarca experiencias en áreas urbanas y rurales, destacando la importancia de las mujeres rurales que enfrentan diferentes tipos de violencias y el desplazamiento forzado. Se sistematizaron diversas experiencias productivas, desde huertas comunitarias hasta procesamiento de alimentos, y se reconstruyó una línea de tiempo que refleja los hechos victimizantes, la llegada de instituciones y ONG, y el desarrollo de iniciativas productivas legalmente constituidas en el 2017. La reconstrucción de la experiencia se enmarca en los "7 Capitales de la Comunidad" y aborda aspectos humanos, sociales, culturales, políticos, naturales, financieros-productivos e infraestructurales. Una encuesta de empoderamiento que evaluó cinco esferas mostró un aumento del empoderamiento en comunidades afrodescendientes de Nariño (del 62,9 % al 78,7 %), mujeres mestizas en el Tambo, Cauca (del 46,4 % al 97,8 %), y mujeres indígenas en el Valle del Cauca (del 50 % al 80 %). Se destaca que la generación de ingresos mediante iniciativas productivas y la capacitación de género son fundamentales para el empoderamiento, pues contribuyen a la reconstrucción del tejido social y al desarrollo rural. Las experiencias exitosas impactan positivamente los procesos locales.
