The social history and experience of Andean communal women (comuneras) in Peru is characterized by exclusion, discrimination and violence, even more so if they are women affected by the internal armed conflict (CAI). However, in recent years, the study of their agency and mobilization capacity, as well as the community organization of these women has begun. The research question is how is social suffering and agency configured in the subjective experience of women in an Ayacucho community in postconflict Peru? We worked with women of the Sacsamarca community, recognized for being one of the first to confront Shining Path guerrillas. We used life stories, field ethnography, drawings, among other sources of information gathering. Our approach was one of Community Psychology in dialogue with decolonial feminism to build a methodological design relevant to the historical, social and cultural context. The results indicate that the Sacsamarcan women’s subjective experience is a lattice of social suffering and agency, both of which coexist and sustain each other simultaneously. Sacsamarcan women have turned social suffering into a mobilizing and transforming force of their reality. The category of “social suffering” helped us to understand the origin of discomfort, as well as its expression. This is an experience that transcends the CAI era. It originates in economic, political and social systems of oppression and domination that have persisted to the present day, to which a set of daily stressors that increase such discomfort are added. Social suffering is expressed through women's bodies and the communal body, which includes women’s bodies, but also territory, nature, divinities, the dead and the community itself. We also identified in women the development and expression of a situated agency, which we have denominated “relational agency,“ which is the product of a set of characteristics —bodily and subjective conditions— and opportunities —material and symbolic conditions— that account for women’s capability to act on themselves and their community. In addition, the psycho-historical perspective allowed us to analyze the history and characteristics of the community in order to understand the history of women. Women, like the community, move between exclusion and resistance. It is a constant movement real and symbolic among different spaces, places, positions, conceptions and strategies, as in the case of round-trip migrations and struggles for memory. Additionally, Sacsamarcan women move within gender relations in dispute, from relations of domination and subordination towards more equitable relations. For all these reasons, we call them “women in transition”. This research also identified a set of “healing acts”, such as artistic expressions and rituals with nature, which are characterized by their communitarian, performative, spiritual, affective, and resistance character. On this basis, we affirm the importance of affectivity and collective action to develop a model of community well-being, which goes beyond the mind/body dichotomy, and is based on respect and care for cultural frames of reference. Finally, analysis of the results confirms the relevance of incorporating decolonial feminism to Community Psychology in our country in order to collaborate with comuneras.
