Of the 12 victims of the Colombian armed conflict who travelled to Havana to take part in the negotiations between the country's government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC-EP), 9 are women. This reflects the harsh reality of the country, where women are the majority of the victims of government and paramilitary oppression, according to official figures. These women are now fighting against fear and calling for peace, exposing themselves to new dangers as their lives are under threat by those who want the conflict to continue. teleSUR
