The institutional apparatus of the Colombian state is in confrontation with social demands; today it refuses to recognize the peasantry as a group with social and historical conditions of discrimination, with an identity in relation to land and territory, historically violated both by the war and by the model of economic development that requires special measures for the enjoyment of their rights, likewise they refuse to recognize the peasant woman and her contribution to the national economy as a subject that has conditions of vulnerability, and with great affectations due to the armed conflict. For that reason, the same State institutionality ends up generating, from its legal and political apparatus, exclusion, discrimination and violence towards the peasantry and more, about the peasant woman.
