Tendrá Un Final
National Strike in Colombia
In april/may 2021 the people of Colombia rose up against the government of Ivan Duque. Protesting the continuing violence, poverty and inequality in a country that favours big business over its own people. The demonstrations have met extreme repression from the police, as over 70 people have been murdered in just over 1 month. As an international NGO we believe that this struggle doesn't end at the Colombians border, for countries all over the world benefit from Colombia's recourses through policies that favour multinational companies over locals. Therefore we call upon the international community to denounce the violence and to stand up against the human rights violations and protect the lives of the Colombian people.

The demonstrations are a continuation of a struggle that women like them have been fighting for years. This video is a tribute to all women in the resistance movement. Women who are an essential part to any resistance but often don't enough credits when victories are achieved.
