Peace Commission of the University of Cauca participated in the Humanitarian Caravan for Life, Peace, and Permanence in the Territories​

The University of Cauca is, above all, a university for peace, and precisely for that reason, in this institution “we think, educate, and act for peace.” In line with this strong commitment, the Peace Commission of our Alma Mater took part in the Humanitarian Caravan for Life, Peace, and Permanence in the Territories during its passage through the department of Cauca.

This caravan, which traveled between July and August 2024 through Antioquia, Southern Bolívar, Arauca, Chocó, and the Colombian Southwest, aimed to understand and make visible the realities of the communities most affected by the humanitarian crisis derived from the armed conflict. It was an initiative driven by more than 100 national and international organizations, as well as human rights defenders who, through dialogue and direct contact with the communities, seek to uphold the dignity and the right of individuals to remain in their territory.

In Cauca, the Peace Commission of the Alma Mater accompanied the Caravan’s route through the municipalities of Cajibío, Morales, and Buenos Aires, where various actions were carried out, including active listening with the communities, humanitarian assistance through a medical brigade, the collection of testimonies on the human rights situation, and the visibility of the population’s living conditions, especially those of women. These actions additionally sought to foster solidarity and international support for the affected areas and their inhabitants. Furthermore, representatives of the Peace Commission also participated in the presentation of the Final Report of the Caravan for Life, Peace, and Permanence in the Territories, an event organized by la Red de Hermandad con Colombia (REDHER). This event, held on December 9 at the Senate Capitol in Bogotá, featured the participation of Professor Jaidiver Ojeda, member of the Peace Commission and coordinator of the Integral Education, Social, and Humanistic Training Program (FISH) at Unicauca

“The report presents a very complex panorama, especially in areas where paramilitary-type groups have been reorganizing. This aligns with the report submitted by the Ministry of Defense to the Senate, which also indicates an increase in conflict across several departments, further worsening the humanitarian crisis,” explained Professor Jaidiver Ojeda, who also emphasized the importance of making an urgent appeal to State institutions to listen to social organizations and adopt measures that are not only preventive but also structural, addressing at their root the violence affecting the country.

The passage of the Humanitarian Caravan through Cauca reaffirms the need to continue building spaces for dialogue and for supporting communities in situations of vulnerability.

Peace is not only an aspiration but a continuous task that requires the commitment of all sectors of society. From this house of thought, it is considered essential to continue strengthening critical thinking and joint work with social organizations to contribute to the construction of a fairer country, in harmony with the rights of those who continue resisting in their territories.
