Sumario:This article approaches the issue of gender violence and HIV/AIDS from the migratory phenomenon known as “desplazamiento” in the context of the Colombian armed confl ict. Based on a true life story, it analyzes the impact of prejudice, stigma, exclusion, sexism and taboo associated with HIV and AIDS in our society and in the religious discourse. It relies on the biblical text of Nm 12.1-16 in order to find a biblical foundation to shed light on the search for a liberating spirituality of sick bodies.
