What is happening in Colombia?
In 2016, after 50 years of civil war, the Colombian Government signed a peace agreement with the guerrilla group FARC. At the time it seemed like an opportunity to strengthen peacebuilding efforts throughout the country.
But now human rights violations are on the rise.
Despite high risks many Colombian civil society organizations are doing everything they can to support the peacebuilding process and defend their democratic rights.
Listen to their storys.
