Healing Voices, Silenced Histories: Oral Testimonies of Sexual Violence in Post-Conflict Societies – The Case of El Salvador
Paula Cuellar Cuellar, PhD. LL.M., Assistant Professor of History and Fellow, “Jacqueline and Michael Wald Professorship on Human Rights, Genocide, and Holocaust Studies”, University of Texas at Dallas
TOPIC CATEGORY: Educational
Request This Free SpeechMy research explores the transformative role of oral history in documenting sexual violence during El Salvador’s armed conflict (1981–1992) and in shaping processes of memory, healing, and transitional justice. Drawing from over sixty testimonies of women who endured rape by both state security forces and guerrilla combatants, the research underscores how oral narratives disrupt dominant, elite-driven accounts that have historically silenced victims’ experiences. MORE >
Many women who participated in this study had never publicly shared their stories before. For most of them, the interviews became a space of recognition, agency, and release from long-carried burdens of trauma. By voicing their lived realities, survivors not only reclaim ownership of their narratives but also challenge the partial truths or half secrets preserved in official records, including the Salvadoran Truth Commission, which frequently marginalized, neglected or intentionally excluded women’s testimonies.The presentation highlights oral history as a methodology that fosters empathy, inclusivity, and social accountability. It also emphasizes the ethical imperative of preventing re-victimization and epistemic extractivism by ensuring that knowledge production returns to and benefits the communities involved. This commitment is illustrated through the process of filming and disseminating the award-winning documentary Añil (Indigo), which extended research findings back to victims and broader audiences. Ultimately, the project demonstrates how oral histories of sexual violence enrich collective memory, deepen our understanding of democratic transitions, and contribute to more authentic and gender-sensitive accounts of El Salvador’s recent past.
