PBI Colombia
2 February 2017



Comic
Dandelions is a comic that chronicles the arrival of PBI in Colombia. It illustrates the initial preparation needed to be able to work in the country and the first requests from human rights defenders so they could receive the protection needed to be able to carry out their work in the midst of the situation of violence and conflict in Colombia.

When the threats don't end
According to Frontline Defenders, during 2016, eighty-five human rights defenders were assassinated. For Peace Brigades International a recent spate of death threats has caused a hectic and continuous workload of international accompaniment.
