Barrismo social: escenarios pertinentes para el agenciamiento del cuidado con enfoque interseccional

Abstract

In Colombia, social fan movements have developed over the last few decades as a complex arena for youth organization, identity formation, and collective action that transcends mere football passion. Far from being limited to stadium cheering, traditional fan groups, affiliated fan clubs, and football collectives have consolidated themselves as social actors with the capacity for community, territorial, and political influence. Within this framework, football becomes a common language that articulates bonds, affections, and disputes, but also a space where structural tensions related to violence, inequality, and exclusion are reproduced. In particular, gender-based violence (GBV) constitutes a persistent and, in many cases, invisible problem within the fan movement. The historically masculinized dynamics of football, coupled with hegemonic notions about the body, strength, and power, have created conditions that limit the full and safe participation of women and gender and sexual minorities, both in the stands and in the organizational and community spaces associated with supporters' groups. Faced with this reality, the need arises to formulate and strengthen strategies that allow for the prevention, addressing, and transformation of such violence from situated, participatory, and rights-based perspectives. This final internship report is part of this transformative vision and aims to contribute to the formulation and/or strengthening of gender-based violence protocols in supporters' groups that promote Social Support in the Pacific region, specifically in the cities of Cali and Pasto. The process was developed in conjunction with the Directorate of Social Support of the Ministry of Equality and Equity, within the framework of the Social Support: Popular Endurance for Life program, which recognizes supporters' groups as collective actors capable of promoting practices of care, coexistence, and social justice
