On October 3, a peace deal to end more than 50 years of war between the Colombian government and the FARC, an armed rebel group, was narrowly rejected in a national vote. It was an unfortunately setback in Colombia's journey to peace. Still, MADRE and our local partners remain hopeful for peace and justice. Here are just a few of their words.
Colombia’s women peacebuilders and grassroots peace activists,like the ones above, are determined to keep up their work. And MADRE is committed to stand with them.
Together with our partners, we’ve mobilized to protect communities in the worst days of war. We’ve cared for survivors of violence and helped them speak out for their rights. And in the face of this setback, we rededicate ourselves to creating peace in Colombia.
I know that with your support for MADRE and our partners, we will realize that goal.
