Seventy-five years ago, a momentous milestone in human history took place in Paris, France. The United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on December 10, 1948. In the drafting and adoption of this Declaration, the contribution of women leaders, who advocated equality and freedom without discrimination, was essential. This document, composed of a preamble and 30 articles, establishes basic principles of fundamental rights and freedoms that all human beings should enjoy, constituting a common standard to which all nations and peoples should aspire. Since then, we have commemorated International Human Rights Day every year.<\/p>\n

The path towards the full realization of human rights has not been free of challenges, being frequently violated in scenarios of armed conflict and reminding us that the defense of rights is a permanent task that requires multiple efforts for the maintenance of peace.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In this scenario, civil society organizations constitute a mobilizing force in the demand for the guarantee and protection of rights. In the national context, the Consultancy for Human Rights and Displacement – CODHES has played an important role in documenting and advocating for the rights of internally displaced persons in Colombia due to the armed conflict, violence and other human rights violations. In recent years, CODHES has made significant progress in advocacy, network building and dialogue with the State. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Promoting the guarantee of victims’ human rights is imperative for peace. The action of women and girls offers enormous potential for transformative change. That is why the project “Participation, dialogue and advocacy of women\/girls victims of forced displacement and confinement to formulate proposals and monitor public policies for care and protection” implemented by CODHES with the support of UN Women, the Women, Peace and Humanitarian Action Fund – WPHF and the United Nations Multi-Donor Fund for Peace, focused its actions on strengthening leadership and empowerment capacities of more than 100 women and girls victims of the armed conflict in the Telemb\u00ed and Piedemonte Costero Nari\u00f1ense Subregion. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This project was carried out in the municipalities of Barbacoas, Mag\u00fc\u00ed Pay\u00e1n, Ricaurte and Roberto Pay\u00e1n, reaffirming the role of Afro-descendant and indigenous women as peace builders, through the implementation of the Itinerant Ethnic School of Participation, Protection and Advocacy.<\/p>\n
