Abstract
Research on Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration (DDR) programs increasingly pays attention to reintegration’s gendered dynamics and the position of women ex-combatants in this process. Nevertheless, there is scant attention to how DDR fails to make the connection between the private and public spheres of ex-combatants’ lives, and to how DDR programs understand family relations mainly with respect to women’s role as mothers. Men’s roles as husbands and fathers have been studied even less. This article contributes original empirical data on the reincorporation process of the former FARC-EP guerrillas in Colombia. Based on long-term ethnographic research in Colombia’s northeastern region, it shows how the lack of attention to familial ties and parenthood – instead of only motherhood – hampers women ex-combatants’ possibilities for economic and political reincorporation. The article explores women’s experience of motherhood in the FARC-EP and after disarmament, describing how the complexities of re-unifying broken families and the challenges posed by the so-called FARC-EP ‘baby-boom’ are mainly experienced by women, due to essentialist understandings of gender and family. Combined with the near-absolute lack of attention for masculinities and men’s caring and household tasks, this places a heavy burden on women with potential emotional and legal consequences.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
