Umuco Love Colombia - Bridging Divides
Do you know how war impacts women and children?
Our first trip to Colombia, where we were able to visit three cities with Artimaña: Bogota, Cali and Buenaventura 2022
1. Gender- Based Violence
The biggest risk women face is gender-based violence. Women and girls are exposed to unprecedented rates of sexual violence, abuse, and torture in war conditions.
2. Weapons of War
Conflict enforces the objectification of women and girls, as they are often seen as weapons of war, being used by perpetrators of violence to assert control.
3. 50% of conflict- related refugees
More than half of the world’s conflict-related refugee population is made up of women and children.
In the past 2 years we have had the privilege of visiting Colombia with Artimaña a local organization to discuss peace building after a long history of war as the country had only seen an eternal war its INDEPENDENCE
