Abstract

This article integrates the result of an investigation that had as a purpose search the perceptions about the body, of five Medellin city women that had experienced sexual violence and were attended by the Center of Integral Resources for the Family - CERFAMI in the Period between 2010-2016, exploring the changes that are evidenced in the relationship with the body itself before and after the violent event. In the study, a dialogical process was carried out to have access to a series of experiences of pain and abuse on the feminine corporality that allowed to reflect on the incarnated condition of violated subjectivities. Therefore, each of the testimonies of women who participated in this research integrate the sensitive background and the political and ethical commitment of this article.
