In October 2015 two CPTers traveled with our partners CAHUCOPANA across the Northeast region of Antioquia on a nine day tour, immersing ourselves CAHUCOPANA’s rigorous daily schedule of workshops, meetings, and lots of travel. The ‘Northeast’, as they refer to it, is a region rich in resources and biodiversity where rolling hills of untouched jungle give way to small communities etched into the landscape, often only accessible by mule or on foot. Unfortunately the region also has a history of displacement and human rights abuses as a result of a lack of state involvement. One of CAHUCOPANA’s initiatives in response to this abandonment is the fomentation of women’s activism in the region, by the name of Women’s Humanitarian Action Committees.
