Show the main conditions in sexual and reproductive health in women victims of the conflicts and armed post-conflicts.
An scoping systematic review was conducted, about literature in English, Spanish, and Portuguese languages, between 2000 to the present, in PubMED, EMBASE, Google Scholar, LILACS, IBECS, SciELO and was consulted key informants.
It was found in the international ambit, the main affectation identified referred to sexual violence, risk factors were found that perpetuate it, such as the family environment, access to education, poor infrastructure of health services among others. Other important effects derive from an increase in the rate of pregnancies and marriages. In Colombia the situation is similar: the areas with the greatest impact due to conflict have a higher fertility rate, poor access to obstetric care, and poor knowledge of STIs.
Access to sexual health services in the conflict, for disease prevention, and the right to sexual and reproductive health must be ensured.
