Summary: The article describes how violence against human rights defenders, especially women, continues in Colombia even after the 2016 peace agreement. Colombian women have played a crucial role in peacebuilding by participating in the negotiations, fighting against gender-based discrimination and violence, and advocating for social justice. Through organizations and movements, they have worked to raise awareness and build a social fabric in their communities, despite being stigmatized on multiple occasions. Peace in Colombia remains a challenge due to the complex political structure and the presence of armed groups, which underlines the need to provide real opportunities and support to the population in order to promote a peaceful environment.
