El autor parte del psicoanálisis para analizar algunas hipótesis que se han elaborado acerca de la relación de las mujeres con la guerra. Resalta la maternidad como un aspecto fundamental en la mujer, pero que no constituye obstáculo en la mayoría de ellas para modificar su relación con la causa político-militar. Sin embargo, esboza a través de la mitología el valor que ha tenido la mujer desde la aintgüedad, justificando así las razones de orden históricosocial y las condiciones de exclusión del poder y riqueza que hace que la mujer tenga un mayor potencial para oponerse a la guerra. Establece que una de las causas de la relación de la mujer con la guerra obedece al rol que nuestra cultura le ha asignado, la cual hace que escoja la vida guerrillera o paramilitar como estilo de vida donde pueda poner límite al abuso o cambiar su statu de víctima.Palabras clave: Mujer, maternidad, guerra, familia, causa.In this article, some hypotheses about the relation between women and war are analysed from a psychoanalyst view. Motherhood is highlighted as a basic aspect of women, but that does not constitute an obstacle for most of them to modify their relation to the political - military cause. Nevertheless, the value women have had since ancient times is outlined from Mythology in order to support the historical and social reasons and the conditions of exclusion from power and richness making them to have a greater potential to oppose to war.It is also established that one of the causes of the relation of women to war is the condition they have in our culture, which make them to choose guerrilla or paramilitary life as a life style where they can put limit to the abuse or change their victim status.Key words: Woman, motherhood, war, family, cause.

Vestidas de Negro y en Silencio por los horrores innombrables, cientos de mujeres manifiestan en sus países de origen el rechazo a la guerra, al militarismo, los nacionalismos, al sexismo y las violaciones de mujeres, a las limpiezas étnicas, religiosas y culturales. A la vez, se solidarizan con sus congéneres, mayoritarias víctimas sobrevivientes de los nuevos conflictos armados, que día tras día invaden el planeta. En 1988, feministas israelíes inauguraron esta particular forma de activismo social y político, oponiéndose a la "política de ocupación" de los territorios palestinos. A ellas se sumaron organizaciones de mujeres palestinas. Hoy continúan actuando al unísono. En Belgrado, antigua Yugoeslavia, en 1991 las mujeres se vistieron de Negro y salieron a la calle en protesta contra la "guerra étnica" que dividió sus pueblos. Mujeres italianas hicieron lo mismo para protestar por la Guerra del Golfo Pérsico. Y españolas, canadienses, alemanas y estadounidenses usando el Negro y el Silencio, salieron a las calles en solidaridad con yugoeslavas, palestinas e israelíes. Y el turno llegó a las colombianas. En Agosto de 2000, la Organización Femenina Popular y la Ruta Pacífica de las Mujeres acordaron vestirse de Negro y protestar en Silencio, contra este conflicto armado, las guerras y violencias. Desde entonces, el último martes de cada mes, testifica un Silencio vestido de Negro en Medellín, Puerto Caicedo, Pereira, Cali, Barrancabermeja, Bucaramanga, Popayán, Bogotá, Quibdo. En otras ocasiones, nuevos lugares han sido testigos de esta protesta de Negro y en Silencio. Con el cuerpo silenciado se expresa desobediencia y resistencia noviolenta a quienes con armas, palabras e imágenes, instigan a la guerra, el odio, la venganza; a las violencias privadas y públicas, a quienes "convierten el cuerpo femenino en botín de guerra".
