Abstract
This chapter describes how both survivors and ex-combatants express a feeling of being second-class citizens, because of the lack of basic state services. Their citizenship practice has also changed over time, from active or even radical to passive. This is reinforced by the ways in which Colombia’s reparation and reintegration function. These processes prioritize the handing out of short-term support, on the condition of attending meetings and signing attendance sheets. This turns people into passive recipients dependent on ineffective state support, rather than promoting their long-term capacities to improve their own lives, through citizenship skills. This diminishes the transformative potential of these processes and reinforces gender stereotypes.
