本文探讨了被拒绝和污名对22名哥伦比亚武装团体复员青年的作用和影响。在定性访谈的基础上，本文首先探索了参与者的平民生活之路，并描绘了一幅不断过渡和适应的画面，这是重新融入社会过程所固有的。这些适应包括流离失所和从农村生活向城市生活的过渡、家庭团聚以及从有组织的武装暴力环境中过渡。然后，文章追溯了这些转变和适应是如何在被拒绝和耻辱的背景下生活和经历的，以及前儿童兵所采用的应对策略。文章最后讨论了通过社区敏感化、意识和和解过程在地方和国家层面解决排斥和污名的重要性。
This article explores the role and impact of rejection and stigma on a group of 22 demobilized youth who had been part of an armed group in Colombia. Drawing upon qualitative interviews, the article begins with an exploration of participants’ paths to civilian life and paints a picture of the constant transitions and adaptations that were inherent to the reintegration process. These adaptations included displacement and the transition from rural to urban life, family reunification, and transitioning from a context of organized armed violence. The article then traces how these transitions and adaptations were lived and experienced in a context of perceived rejection and stigma, as well as the coping strategies employed by former child soldiers in response. The article concludes with a discussion of the importance of addressing rejection and stigma at the local and national level through community sensitization, awareness, and reconciliation processes.
