Sumario:This article seeks to problematize the political role of female leaders in peace construction and the risks they face in the defense of Human Rights. This analysis approaches the power relations and interests that cross the contexts where these women work. Through interviews to 18 leaders in Bogotá D.C, Cundinamarca, Sucre, Antioquia y Nariño, it was possible to determine the social causes that motivate them and the prosecution trajectories that they have suffered as a way of retaliation to their activism and the led processes in their communities. In general, these women have accompanied the suffering of war and they have driven participation and political incidence processes, which are necessary for peace construction in their territories.
