De desplazados a víctimas

The document analyzes the shift in legal identity from 'displaced person' to 'victim' in Mocoa, Colombia. It details the formation of the Municipal Table of Organizations of Population Victims of Forced Displacement (mfopd) and its role in planning municipal attention. Through a collaborative survey of 481 households, the report highlights severe poverty, housing deficits, and insecurity among the displaced. It concludes that the transition to the Victims Law (Law 1448) has often dismantled collective organizational achievements in favor of individual family reparations, potentially discouraging grassroots social justice claims.

• The transition from a humanitarian regime focused on 'socioeconomic stabilization' to a transitional justice regime under Law 1448 shifted the focus from poverty relief to responding to past injustices through 'truth, justice and reparation'.
• In Mocoa, displaced persons constitute a significant portion of the population; according to the Single Registry of Displaced Population (rupd), 23,244 people (5,576 households) arrived in Mocoa since 1998, representing more than half of the 2010 projected population of 38,564.
• A collaborative survey of 481 households in Mocoa revealed extreme economic hardship: 92.1% of households live on less than one minimum monthly salary, and 78% report a worse standard of living than before their displacement.
• Housing conditions for the displaced in Mocoa are precarious, with 73.4% lacking their own home and 20.6% living in informal occupations or invasions; furthermore, 29.3% report living in high-risk zones, particularly those prone to river flooding.
• There is a strong correlation between community organization and increased security risks; 31.2% of those belonging to an association live in households where a member was threatened after displacement, compared to 12.1% for non-associated individuals.
• The shift to the Victims Law is perceived locally as a 'dismantling' of organizational achievements, as the new emphasis on individual family reparations desincentivizes grassroots organizing for broader social justice.
• Despite the legal framework, the implementation of the Single Integral Plan (piu) in Mocoa was criticized by indigenous and Afro-descendant leaders for lacking a proper prior consultation process.
