"We want tell you that we live in an armed conflict in Colombia for the past 60 years, with serious consequences for the violation of human rights. We suffer a humanitarian crisis with serious consequences for women. There is a militarization of civilian life and a conception of security focuses on the arms race, the informers, violence as a form of conflict management to be resolved by force and authoritarianism. In recent years, this situation of armed conflict is present in other Latin American countries. We are aware that other countries in the world suffering from these problems, to live in situations of war or war. But we are convinced that this really affects us all, to the north and south, as feminists and as part of women's movement. "

The meeting will be an opportunity to address important issues (the demilitarization of civilian life and territories, the Justice for War Crimes, feminism, war and military ...) , to promote understanding and exchanges between women from different countries and, above all, to define alternative set of women's resistance to the military and to enhance the movement of Women in Black against war.
