Gender-sensitive disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration (DDR): an evaluation of the ARN programme to reintegrate female ex-combatants from the

这一研究项目的重点是哥伦比亚对性别问题有敏感认识的解除武装、复员和重返社会(复员方案)。在2016年政府与哥伦比亚革命武装力量(FARC)达成具有里程碑意义的和平协议后，哥伦比亚重新合并和正常化机构(ARN)再次努力实施对性别问题敏感的政策，以促进女性前战斗人员向平民生活过渡。先前的研究表明，重返社会往往是复员方案链中“最薄弱的一环”，尽管它对创造可持续和平至关重要。此外，与男性相比，女性前战斗人员往往更多地退出重返社会方案。鉴于重返社会方案失败对经济、安全和心理造成的重要影响，迫切需要对影响女性前战斗人员重返社会的因素有更深入的了解。我提出的研究方法是一项多案例研究(Yen 2003)，旨在评估ARN重新融入方案在不同地理区域的三个不同社区中的有效性：农村、城市和“大都市”(波哥大)。研究参与者将包括：前女性前战斗人员；收容前战斗人员的社区成员；参与重返社会进程的民间社会组织；如果可能的话，国家一级的政策制定者和民族解放阵线官员。为了收集关于ARN方案在这些不同地点的有效性的丰富经验数据，本项目将利用半结构化访谈、观察和文献审查。该项目将力求加深对性别问题有敏感认识的重返社会的理解，特别是在不同情况下执行ARN性别战略方面。

This research project focuses on gender-sensitive disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration (DDR) in Colombia. Following the 2016 landmark peace deal between the government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), the Colombian Agency for Reincorporation and Normalisation (ARN) has renewed its efforts to implement gender-sensitive policies to facilitate the transition of female ex-combatants into civilian life. Previous research has shown that reintegration is frequently the 'weakest link' in the DDR chain, despite being crucial in creating sustainable peace. In addition, female ex-combatants tend to drop out of reintegration programmes in higher numbers compared to males. Given the important economic, security and psychological implications of the failure of reintegration programmes, there is a pressing need to develop deeper understandings of the factors affecting the reintegration of female ex-combatants. My proposed research approach is a multiple-case study (Yin 2003) designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the ARN reintegration programme in three diverse communities in different geographical areas: rural, urban, and 'cosmopolitan' (Bogota). Research participants will include: former female ex-combatants; members of the communities that host ex-combatants; civil society organisations involved in the reintegration process and, if access is possible, policymakers and ARN officials at the national level. In order to gather rich empirical data on the effectiveness of the ARN programme in these diverse locations, this project will utilise semi-structured interviews, observation and documentary review. This project will seek to contribute deeper understandings of gender-sensitive reintegration, particularly in relation to the implementation of the ARN gender strategy in diverse contexts.
