Abstract
In order to learn about the particular situation of women in the Cauca province in the framework of the implementation of the Policy of Democratic Security, it became indispensable to analyze the evolution of the human rights of women in the period 2000 to 2009, keeping in mind such aspects as sexual violence, intra-family violence, homicides and femicides, social control, and political violence. It was also necessary to examine the situation of women in terms of access to justice and the effects of the increased presence of the armed forces in the entire province on their daily activities and lives, in the context of the process of recovery of territorial control by the State, in place since 2002.
Determining the impact of the Policy of Democratic Security on the lives, integrity and wellbeing of the women in the Cauca province forced us to review and analyze in a gender perspective the objectives of the policy and the efficacy and legitimacy of the strategies used, and to ascertain the extent to which this policy fostered a context that would guarantee human rights and the protection of women.
