El proceso de paz en Colombia que pone fin al conflicto interno más largo en América Latina es un proceso complejo y con distintas vertientes. El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar la justicia transicional desde la perspectiva de la irenología con un enfoque de género. Por ello, se desarrolló un instrumento cualitativo que consiste en una entrevista a profundidad semiestructurada, mediante la cual se observó que la paz ha dejado de ser un asunto de Estados para convertirse en un asunto de ciudadanos, aunque los aportes de las mujeres para la construcción de paz en el país son escasos. Así, se requiere que los avances logrados a través de la teorización de la paz se materialicen en la realidad, de tal manera que la construcción de la paz como proceso que concierne a todos los ciudadanos involucre a las mujeres no solo desde la esfera política sino desde su cotidianidad. Abstract: The peace process in Colombia, which puts an end to the longest internal conflict in Latin America, is a complex and multi-faceted process. The objective of this paper is to analyze Transitional Justice from the perspective of Irenology with a gender perspective. For this reason, a qualitative tool was developed consisting of a semi-structured in-depth interview in which it was observed that peace has ceased to be a matter for States and has become a matter for citizens, even though women's contributions to peacebuilding in the country are scarce. Thus, the advances achieved through the theorization of peace must be materialized in reality in such a way that the construction of peace as a process that concerns all citizens involves women not only in the political sphere but also in their daily lives.

Systemic violence challenges humanity to construct cultures of peace that embody characteristics such as nonviolence, respect for human rights, gender equality, freedom & democratization, tolerance & solidarity, & protection of the earth's resources. An international movement to build cultures of peace is underway, & the UN is exercising significant leadership in encouraging participation at all levels. After describing current UN efforts to build cultures of peace, this introductory article examines the role of psychologists, cautioning against approaches that result in the imposition of Western approaches & marginalization of indigenous psychologies. Drawing on the process & insights from the Sixth International Symposium on Contributions of Psychology to Peace, this issue of the journal examines the contributions of psychology to cultures of peace. 22 References.
