Colombia project shares research findings

The Creating Safer Space project ‘The Social Process of Guarantees of Antioquia, Colombia, an experience of unarmed civil protection with indigenous and peasant communities of Bajo Cauca’ has recently finished.

The project team is pleased to share a multimedia tool that contains the results of the project, available on the organisation’s website: https://cjlibertad.org/psgbajocauca/

An event was held to present the results to relevant organizations and national and regional authorities responsible for the protection and guarantee for social leaders and human rights defenders and indigenous authorities. It sought to generate commitments for the protection of life and guarantees for the work of leadership. State authorities recognize the serious risk situation for social leaders and human rights defenders and indigenous authorities, but are unable to commit to strategies that provide protection and guarantees to the work of social leaders.
