The effects of armed conflict on women in post-conflict situations are an area of analysis for social disciplines. This study
will analyze the situation in Colombia, currently involved in a peace restoration process. The aim is to verify the efficacy of a
coping and emotion regulation program analyzing victimization as well as the coping strategies employed in response to these
violent acts. The program focuses on 62 women contacted through the Ruta Pacífica de las Mujeres, a nongovernmental
organization. The program had a positive effect on women, reporting lower levels of posttraumatic stress, more functional
coping strategies, and less use of dysfunctional strategies. All emotional cognitive and social indicators improved. Women
felt emotionally better, perceiving greater social support and more trust in institutions. Survivors had more self-confidence
to achieve their goals and solve their problems. The implications in a context of peace reconstruction and search for social
cohesion are discussed.
