On Wednesday, 30 June, at 5.30 pm, ICIP is organizing the presentation of the new ICIP Report The Colombian Diaspora in Europe and its relationship with the Colombian armed conflict (in Spanish), by Anastasia Bermúdez Torres.
The event will be broadcast through the ICIP YouTube channel. It will be a dialogue between the author and two Colombians living in London and Seville, Marta Hinestroza and Royner Murillo. They will talk about the impacts of the Colombian exile in Europe, reception processes, and exiles’ contribution to the peace process in Colombia.
The report’s publication is part of the work that ICIP and the Truth Commission are carrying out in Europe to document and dignify the experiences of Colombian conflict victims exiled abroad.
More than 500,000 people have fled Colombia due to violence in the five years of armed conflict. The phenomenon of forced cross-border migration has been silenced and made invisible. The Truth Commission is carrying out a pioneering task to include the voice of exile in the peace process.
The event is organized with the Catalan Agency for Development Cooperation (ACCD) and Colombia’s Truth Commission.
