“…Forced displacement is an issue that violates human rights. It produces highly frail individuals and groups from a profound deterioration in the quality of life and health and the lack of care by the Government against the right to health 56 . We found no specific studies that have aimed to analyze the impact of forced displacement on HS, which is probably more related to the redistribution of the same resources.…”

OBJECTIVE To analyze the impacts of the care to the population displaced by violence on the health system and the challenges that this entails.METHODS This is a narrative review of the national and international literature in PubMed, SciELO, WHO/PAHO, and Bireme. Inclusion criteria were date of publication (from 2000), relation with the subject, and language (Spanish or English). We found 292 documents, of which 91 met the inclusion criteria.RESULTS The main challenges are the intersectoral, participatory, and integral approach (with emphasis on mental health and sexual and reproductive health), ensured accessibility to health services, the need for a reliable registration and information system of the population displaced by violence and its characteristics, and the addressing of the biopsychosocial problems of the different groups, especially women, persons with disabilities or infectious diseases, adolescents, children, ethnic minorities, older adults and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, and intersexual population.CONCLUSIONS The lack of political will to accept and see the internal displacement by violence and its importance as a humanitarian and public health problem is an obstacle to the adequate and timely care of the population displaced by violence in Mexico.

“…Moving from the street to a more stable but overcrowded physical structure often involves an entire family sharing a single room [49, 50, 93–95]. New IDPs have few prospects for employment and a limited repertoire of urban job skills [49, 50, 93, 95, 96], leading to economic dependence [85]. …”

“…Resettled IDPs face a variety stressors and challenges including low literacy, extreme poverty, employment in the informal sector, discrimination based on ethnicity, stigmatization based on IDP status, single-woman-headed households, and significant delays in qualifying for and receiving supportive services [49, 50, 53, 54, 87, 95–97, 101–103]. IDPs live in overcrowded “ ollas urbanas ” – marginalized urban areas characterized by drug micro-trafficking, prostitution, delinquency, and begging [53, 54, 87, 102].…”

While conflict-induced forced migration is a global phenomenon, the situation in Colombia, South America, is distinctive. Colombia has ranked either first or second in the number of internally displaced persons for 10 years, a consequence of decades of armed conflict compounded by high prevalence of drug trafficking. The displacement trajectory for displaced persons in Colombia proceeds through a sequence of stages: (1) pre-expulsion threats and vulnerability, (2) expulsion, (3) migration, (4) initial adaptation to relocation, (5) protracted resettlement (the end point for most forced migrants), and, rarely, (6) return to the community of origin. Trauma signature analysis, an evidence-based method that elucidates the physical and psychological consequences associated with exposures to harm and loss during disasters and complex emergencies, was used to identify the psychological risk factors and potentially traumatic events experienced by conflict-displaced persons in Colombia, stratified across the phases of displacement. Trauma and loss are experienced differentially throughout the pathway of displacement.

“…En este contexto, las mujeres se han visto expuestas a diferentes tipos de vulnerabilidad, entre las que se encuentran actos de violencia como el abuso sexual, agresión física por parte de su pareja, homicidios, secuestros y reclutamien-tos forzados, entre otros fenómenos de índole física como psicológica. Asimismo, también se da una afectación de las mujeres y sus familias en términos de acceso a servicios básicos como atención médica, alimentación, educación y servicios públicos, sobre todo para las que habitan en zonas rurales del país (4,5).…”

El fenómeno del desplazamiento afecta a toda la población colombiana, especialmente a aquella que tiene mayor vulnerabilidad, como las mujeres, que ven afectada su salud por el cambio de roles que deben asumir. Objetivo: analizar cómo los roles que desempeñan las mujeres en situación de desplazamiento influyen en sus condiciones de vulnerabilidad psicológica y social. Materiales y métodos: se realizó una investigación cualitativa utilizando la teoría fundada; se tuvieron en cuenta fuentes primarias, constituidas por los discursos recogidos en entrevistas aplicadas personalmente a mujeres que hubieran sido desplazadas, residentes en tres asentamientos de la ciudad de Medellín y cuyas características se definieron por la diversidad cultural, étnica e idiosincrásica, y fuentes secundarias, compuestas por la revisión de documentos oficiales, literatura, otras investigaciones y demás material que tratara acerca de este tema. Se realizaron quince entrevistas semiestructuradas, se organizaron seis grupos focales y se realizaron seis entrevistas a profundidad. Para el análisis se utilizó la codificación, categorización e interpretación. Resultados: las mujeres desplazadas se ven sometidas a cambios significativos en sus roles luego de la llegada a la ciudad, los cuales agudizan sus condiciones de vulnerabilidad e influyen en su percepción de salud. La relación entre los múltiples roles y su efecto sobre las condiciones de vulnerabilidad no puede estudiarse analizando cada rol independientemente y sin considerar diferentes dimensiones de funcionamiento y adaptación de la mujer. Conclusión: la experiencia del desplazamiento afecta los roles asumidos por las mujeres, y estos a su vez las condiciones de vulnerabilidad y su percepción de salud.
