Forced displacement is a victimizing event that emerges as a social phenomenon of war, causing great changes in the lives of those who suffered it and of the new generations of the victims' families. The article, which is the result of a qualitative research project, analyzes forced displacement from the voices of children between 10 and 13 years old, living in a municipality of the Department of Atlantic Colombia, which receives this population. Direct observation and semi-structured interviews were used to collect information. As an analysis tool, the ATLAS.ti program was used, which allows the identification of semantic networks that relate to emerging categories. The results indicate relationships between categories such as forced displacement, violence, family, community, conflict resolution and dialog. The study shows a pattern of behavior unidentified in the research of the same type, in which the perception of the overt violence of forced displacement is projected onto the new external agents in the new place of residence, i.e., there is an imaginary construction of violence per se.
