Embera indigenous woman in makeshift shelter, displaced by Colombian conflict, seeking territorial protection in Bogota.

Many families have been forced to flee due to the armed conflict in our country. They sleep and live in huts and keep warm with fires fed by firewood. This is the story of more than 400 Embera indigenous people who endure unfulfilled promises of territorial protection and subsequently wander through Bogota National Park. Although the process of restoring indigenous lands is underway, progress is slow, and a breakdown in the social structure is evident.
