2015 CO050 We Are Not War Puppets Phase I

Colombia has endured decades of internecine conflict between armed groups including the national army, guerrillas, drug mafias and paramilitary organisations. Children and young people in large parts of the country continue to live under the constant threat of violence. This project works to improve the protective environment around schools for children, by involving the community and involving children in decision making. Through national awareness campaigns, adults and organizations are informed about the rights and needs of children.
