| description | The present article describes how women of La Avanzada and Carpinelo, neighborhoods of Medellin, have appropriated places within them, that evoke fear and memory. The article answers the questions: ¿What are the places of fear and memory for women, what perceptions do they have and how do they appropriate them? The argumentation weaves the relationship between gender and territory from two approaches: culture and feminist geography. The methodological included tours of the places, elaboration of social cartographies and group and individual interviews. The results show how fear and insecurity that women feel in some places of their neighborhoods, have been creating boundaries that prevent its uses. These factors have limited the appropriation of those places by the community, restricting liberty and autonomy, crucial factors to the foundation of a city perceived safe for women. |

En este artículo se describen las percepciones y apropiaciones que hacen las mujeres de los lugares del miedo y la memoria en los barrios La Avanzada y Carpinelo ubicados en la Comuna 1 de la ciudad de Medellín, Colombia. En ese sentido, el artículo responde a las preguntas: ¿cuáles son los lugares del miedo y la memoria para las mujeres? ¿Qué percepciones tienen y cómo se apropian de estos? Conceptualmente, la argumentación teje la relación entre género y lugar desde el enfoque cultural y la geografía feminista; en lo metodológico, el trabajo de campo incluyó recorridos por los lugares, elaboración de cartografías sociales y entrevistas grupales e individuales. Los resultados aquí planteados muestran cómo la percepción de miedo e inseguridad que sienten las mujeres en algunos lugares limitan su uso y su apropiación desde la autonomía y la libertad, elementos necesarios para planear ciudades seguras para las mujeres.. Neste artigo se descreve a apropriação social que as mulheres, das comunidades La Avanzada e Carpinelo (comuna 1, Medellin Colombia), fazem de locais que são ou foram aterradores. Teoricamente é discutida a relação de gênero e território, com um enfoque cultural do território e as geografias feministas. Os resultados expostos neste trabalho demonstram como a percepção de medo e insegurança, que aquelas mulheres sentem em certos locais, impede e limita o uso, desfrute e apropriação destes, vistos desde a autonomia e a liberdade, elementos indispensáveis para conceber cidades que sejam seguras para as mulheres.
