Camila Rodriguez Triana, lives in ashes

In a country where the internal conflict has lasted almost six decades, lying is another weapon for protecting yourself and others. Exposing it is dangerous. An ex-guerilla whose youthful ideals could not be realised abandoned the guerilla life. And his world fell apart, when, many years later, he began the cold hard work of facing the past that lived inside himself and his family.
International mobilisation against violence in Colombia

Tired of the violence, thousands of immigrants, refugees and exiles from different countries and different cities will come together to expose the ongoing violation of human rights in the country and the non-compliance with the FARC Peace Treaty. This will take place on 15 November.
Neglected and suffering, the plight of the refugees in Moria

With its perimeter heavily guarded by a menacing wire fence, this refugee camp on the Greek island of Lesbos is overcrowded with foreign migrants. It’s now common to see lines of refugees there, barefoot and soaking wet, having literally just come out of the sea, sad and overwhelmed.
‘Chilenazo’ or the burning oasis

You have to go much further back to understand how, with or without the economic growth vaunted by Piñera who garnered the support of barely 25% of Chileans, inequality has survived over the centuries. Chile is among the twenty countries in the world with the worst income distribution. In Chile, MPs earn up to 25 times the average salary. And the problem is that in Chile this is not the only inequality.
The drama of an immigrant woman in the UK

Abused and almost killed in Latin America by her ex-partner, she fled to Spain where she encountered racism. She has been in London for three years and now faces exploitation in the workplace: including not being paid, being overworked to the point of not being able to walk and suffering verbal abuse.
