The feminists of Farc: ‘We are not demobilising, we are mobilising politically’

As Colombia's guerrilla forces reintegrate into civilian life, its female combatants have taken on a new fight - battling macho culture and inequality

When she was only 20 years old, guerrilla commander Adriana left her rural home in Tolima, south of Colombia's capital, to join the ranks of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc). "I wanted to become somebody. I wanted to do something important," she says.

Adriana - now 38 years old, resting under the shade of a corrugated metal roof in the lush mountains of Cesar - is one of the 7,000 remaining combatants of the Farc expected to demobilise and begin a reintegration process, transitioning from Colombia's mountains and jungles to civilian life.
