"Objetivo. Se estima que hasta 18.000 niños, niñas y adolescentes están involucrados en grupos armados en Colombia. Después de desvincularse de estos grupos armados, su reinserción en la sociedad es un gran desafío. Exploramos los discursos acerca de estos jóvenes y sus procesos de reinserción. Metodología. Realizamos 64 entrevistas con profesionales de diferentes organizaciones activas en los procesos de inserción usando el enfoque de “What’s the problem represented to be?”.Resultados. Este enfoque nos permitió encontrar dos discursos explícitos. El primero, el discurso orientado a la ley, demostró ser fuertemente influenciado por las normas internacionales. Y el segundo, el discurso orientado a la alternativa, mostró resistencia al primer discurso. Conclusiones. A través de la interacción de estos discursos, las organizaciones demostraron estar limitadas en sus implementaciones prácticas, lo cual resulta peligroso para los numerosos esfuerzos dedicados a los procesos y para la inserción de los niños en la sociedad."
Reinsertion processes of children disengaged from armed groups in Colombia: what is the problem represented to be?
(2017) Julia Villanueva O’Driscoll; Gerrit Loots; Marcela Losantos; Scherezada Exeni Ballivián; Isabel Berckmans; Ilse Derluyn
Objective. There are estimates of up to 18,000 children engaged with armed groups in Colombia. After disengaging from these groups, their reinsertion into society is a great challenge. We looked into the discourse approaches towards these children and their reinsertion processes. Methodology. We conducted 64 interviews with professionals from different organisations active in the integration processes of these children and conducted the “What’s the problem represented to be?” approach. Results. This approach allowed us to outline two explicit discourses. The law-oriented discourse showed to be strongly influenced by international standards, and was found to be dominant in the governmental reinsertion programme. The alternative-oriented discourse showed resistance to this line of thinking. Conclusions. Through the interplay of these discourses, organisations showed to be limited in their practical implementations whereby the many efforts put into the insertion processes, and the insertion of children into society itself are jeopardised.

(Wiley, 2015) Amer Shehadeh; Gerrit Loots; Johan Vanderfaeillie; Ilse Derluyn
Detention of fathers in the context of protracted armed conflicts has a large impact on adolescents' mental health.
