ICIP and the internodal gender group, in support of the Commission for the Clarification of Truth, Coexistence and Non-Repetition, have produced, together with Alharaca Radio Feminista, \u201cSemillantes,\u201d a series of five podcasts about Colombian women in exile and the diaspora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The podcasts will be released weekly, every Friday in July, to preserve the memory of the women who were forced to leave the South American country due to the armed conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to S\u00edlvia Plana, head of the project at ICIP, these podcasts \u201cseek to highlight the main impacts suffered by the women who were forced to leave Colombia, as well as to recognize the resilient and transformative processes that have been carried out from abroad. The underlying idea is that without women\u2019s voices, the truth is not complete,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The podcasts have been produced by Alharaca Radio Feminista, a project launched in April 2019 and developed entirely by women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their website is a platform of open microphones where any woman can participate. They currently have collaborators in Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Spain, Kazakhstan, Uruguay, the United States, Chile and Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Five complimentary episodes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The first episode of \u201cSemillantes\u201d will be released on Friday 2 July on ICIP and Alharaca Radio Feminista websites.\u00a0The remaining episodes will be available on the 9th<\/sup>, 16th<\/sup>, 23rd<\/sup> and 30th<\/sup> of the same month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn these five podcasts, the women participants intertwine, through their voices and spirit, taking us on different journeys. They tell us what their lives have been like, through stories, experiences, rhythms, wisdom and emotions,\u201d explain the producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWith the podcasts, we can continue building support and sisterhood networks among ourselves and contribute to the dissemination and awareness of the mandate of the Truth Commission of Colombia in Europe and the cross-cutting gender approach,\u201d they add.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Participants in the episodes include Colombian women who now live in Germany, Argentina, Belgium, Ecuador, Spain, Italy and Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The podcasts can also be found on a special webpage of Alharaca Radio Feminista.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
