Through the review, re-reading and analysis of researchs with groups of women in Tunja Boyacá Colombia, during the period 2004-2011, conducted by the Research Group on Exclusion and Resistances in Healthcare and the Latin American Institute Research in HealthCare, we explored two aspects; the first related to social recognition and self-recognition of women as victims and the second, concerning the processes of overcoming victim status. Both are systematized and discussed in the light of what we understand as processes to un-victimize the feminine status of women that had passed through different situations of violence.
