International Women's Day, 8 March 2024: Aura Caicedo

Colombia is one of the most violent countries in the world for defending human rights, and Afro-descendant women are increasingly at risk. Aura Caicedo, through her organisation, the Ambulua Women's Training and Empowerment Centre, works for women who risk their lives to defend their communities in Buenaventura - one of the most dangerous cities in Colombia.
