The town of San Carlos, highly affected by the Colombian conflict, is often presented as an example of a successful domestic reparations process. Yet not all victims agree with this assessment. A significant number of marginalised adolescents feel that their voices and realities are not reflected in the reparations programme provided by the 2011 Victims’ Law. While the programme promises to transform lives, it does little to change the lives of young people at the margins. This article compares and contrasts the legal framework on reparations for underaged victims with insights drawn from ethnographic research with these youths. The situation of these young people signals that transformative reparations are not working as they should. We argue that this failure is due to the mismatch between the conceptualisation of ‘vulnerable child-victims’ in the text of the law and these youths’ nuanced identities. Using intersectionality, we propose an alternative way forward.

交叉性和变革性赔偿：哥伦比亚边缘青年的案例

受哥伦比亚冲突严重影响的圣卡洛斯镇经常被视为成功的国内赔偿程序的一个例子。然而，并非所有受害者都同意这一评估。大量边缘化青少年认为，2011 年《受害者法》提供的赔偿方案没有反映他们的声音和现实。虽然该计划有望改变生活，但对改变边缘年轻人的生活几乎没有作用。本文将有关未成年受害者赔偿的法律框架与从对这些年轻人的人种学研究中得出的见解进行比较和对比。这些年轻人的处境表明，变革性赔偿并未发挥应有的作用。我们认为，这种失败是由于法律文本中“弱势儿童受害者”的概念与这些年轻人细微的身份之间的不匹配。使用交叉性，我们提出了另一种前进的方式。
