Bioethics and Transitional Justice: LGBTQI+ Victims In the Colombian Post-Conflict

This paper explores the role of bioethics in addressing the specific challenges faced by LGBTQI+ victims in Colombia's transitional justice process. It argues that queer and feminist bioethics offer both theoretical and practical contributions to the core aims of truth, reparation, and non-repetition by critically engaging with the biomedical discourses at the base of prejudice-based violence. The pathologization of sexual and gender diversity is examined as a structural condition of victimization and re-victimization during and after the armed conflict. Drawing on reports, testimonies, and conceptual frameworks, the paper reflects on how bioethical perspectives can support recognition, dignity, and structural transformation. Rather than advancing prescriptive solutions, the analysis emphasizes the need for ongoing critical engagement with the medical, legal, and social imaginaries that sustain inequality. The article positions bioethics as a field capable of contributing to transitional justice by fostering reflection on difference, responsibility, and the epistemic dimensions of reparation.
