COLOMBIA. 2017. Angelica, 39, joined FARC when she was 12. “When my mother remarried I didn't get along well with her husband and I decided to runaway and join FARC. I'm a surgeon, I have no education but by doing a lot of surgery I became a self-learnt surgeon. I learned not to be afraid because fear can put you and others in danger. For example the first time that I had to cut the leg of the one of the guerrillas because he was badly wounded, if I had felt fear and doubted for one second, I might have killed him because of the delay. Fear in these kinds of situations means nothing. Now it has been 12 years that I'm a surgeon here. Here I became a woman and I've learned how to not count on anybody but only myself. When I was seven my mother sent me to my aunt because she could not pay for my food. My aunt's husband raped me for many years. From 7 years old till 12 years old I was raped constantly. Here I found my family.”
