In February 2013 the Inter-Church Justice and Peace Commission visited the Nonam indigenous community in the Santa Rosa de Guayacán Humanitarian Reserve (Valle del Cauca), in order to talk about their precarious situation and the escalation of the armed conflict in the region. PBI accompanied Maria Eugenia Mosquera and Laura Chaparro on this journey.
Despite the situation, Iría continues to go by boat to her allotment in order to cultivate rice, yucca and taro.  The community also cultivates plantain and sugar cane.
Between the uncertainty, the fear and the limitations placed on them by the illegal armed actors, the community has not been able leave much in order to fish, hunt and cultivate. This has a negative impact on their food security.
When you visit Santa Rosa you can’t hep but notice the gratitude the community feels for the work of the Commission, and for PBI’s presence. PBI have been accompanying the Commission for the past 19 years.   Your support is very valuable to us in order to enable us to continue our accompaniment of human rights defenders in Colombia.
