Abstract

This article aims to identify the changes that occur in social representations about the gender role of women ex-combatants. The methodology used was the bibliographic review of documents from various theoretical perspectives as well as individual testimonies of women ex-combatants, with a chronological order ranging from 2010 to the present (2020), these were obtained with reliable databases allowing searching using keywords. According to the results, social representations lead us to think and act in a certain way accepted by society, where women excombatants questioned those social representations that are given according to their role, giving us to understand that there are many ways of being a woman without fitting into the roles that society has imposed. As conclusions, it is taken into account that for psychology it is important to understand and understand how each of these representations works in people, because, from them they shape their own reality, in addition, their behavior is regulated by them, Therefore, the way we think about ourselves or others is also permeated by the social representations we have created on a personal and social level.
