COLOMBIA. 2017. Diana, 20, joined FARC when she was 13 years old: "My father was also a member of the FARC Army. He was arrested by the Colombian army and he went to prison. FARC took care of me, my mother and brother. I always hated studying, that's why I made a decision to join the other guerrillas. At the age of 7, I started working in a farm, it was a very tough life for me. To be honest being a guerrilla was not much different because of the difficult childhood that I had. I fought in wars, for many days and nights, I was shooting in every direction and I don't know the number of people I've killed. One week after I joined the guerrilla I started fighting, I was 13. I'm scared to go back to normal life, maybe if I start living a normal life I will choose to be a nurse, as we learnt how to treat a patient in the camp. All these years I repeatedly dreamt that the army attacked me and started shooting me with a machine gun, I was running in dirty water and at the end I would get killed; a friend who knows about dream interpretation told me that having a dream where there is dirty water means sickness. In the past years I was shot two times and I almost died."
