Dayana (right) and Jairo, both previously with FARC, lie on a bed with their daughter Andrée Nicole, and Jairo’s sister Liliana, in Rio Guayabero, Colombia, on 21 February 2018 .⁣ ⁣ 3. People celebrate the 53rd—and final—anniversary of FARC as an armed rebel group, in La Elvira transition camp in Valle del Cauca, Colombia, on 28 May 2017.⁣ ⁣ 4. In Rio Guayabero, Colombia, former FARC guerrilla Dayana gets ready to return to collect belongings left at the disarmament camp in Colinas on 24 February 2018.⁣ ⁣ In the years that followed the 2016 peace agreement between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) rebel movement, there was a baby boom among former female guerrillas. Women had been obliged to put war before children and leave babies with relatives or undergo forced abortions. Dayana joined the guerrilla forces when she was 15, leaving behind her four-month-old baby. She only saw her son again 17 years later. Following the peace deal, Dayana was reunited with her family and had a second child with Jairo.⁣ ⁣ Photographs from ‘Being Pregnant After FARC Child-Bearing Ban’ by Catalina Martin-Chico (@catalinamartinchico), awarded in the 2019 World Press Photo Contest. Martin-Chico spent four months understanding the situation and building a network in Colombia to gain access and develop relationships with the women in this story—many of whom she remains in contact with. She describes her approach as “slow journalism.”⁣ ⁣ This project is included in the exhibition ‘Resilience - stories of women inspiring change,' currently on tour in Brazil, Turkey, Bangladesh, and North Macedonia.
