Abstract
This chapter looks at how civil society initiatives in Latin America respond to violence and explores the different strategies they use to engage peacefully with violent situations and those who perpetrate them. It focuses on their resilience, their efforts not to give up on peaceful coexistence in the midst of violent processes and to keep developing new survival strategies. It explores their strategies and practices in dealing with violence, examining transitional phenomena and the interrelationships between violence and peace through concrete case studies: the initiatives to confront feminicidios and gender-based violence, the transnational phenomenon of migration organized in caravanas, the scope of the intergovernmental Escazú Accord to protect the lives of environmental activists, and the mobilization of broad sectors against the enforced disappearance of the 43 students in Ayotzinapa, Mexico and its consequences in terms of raising global awareness against forced disappearances. All examples illustrate the agency of civil society actors, with a particular focus on the processuality and historicity of the transitions between violence and peace. Civil society actors, their initiatives and their strategies are considered as key elements in understanding these transitions.
