Description
Summary:The phenomenon of forced displacement in Colombia, the product of an armed conflict that has lasted more than 60 years, continues to rise even after the signing of the Peace Agreement with the FARC guerrillas. The displacement not only causes the loss of a place of housing but in its broadest sense, the loss of its existential security, because emotional, cultural and social ties are also lost. In spite of everything, this fact has generated the re-organization of the population as a form of resistance and risk survival, which demonstrates the fundamental role played by civil society in the construction of peace and converts the victims of this scourge in agents of change and social transformation.
