Reflections: Confronting the Militaristic and Militarized System in Colombia: Words, Practices, and Feminist Analysis

Hosted by WILPF and LIMPAL WILPF, this webinar will discuss how masculinities in Colombia have been militarised and how seven decades of armed conflict in Colombia have profoundly impacted the country and have established a culture that has normalized violence. We will also analyse the efforts of the current government in its agenda of ‘paz total’ or total peace policy.

Moderated by Angelica Pino, Program Coordinator of the Mobilizing Men for Feminist Peace at the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom

Speakers:

• Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (LIMPAL), Colombia
