The Unit for Victims, through its professionals in collective reparation, made a presence in the township of Pensilvania, to work with the community in the process of collective reparation.

The collective reparation process continues to be carried out in different points of the geography of Eje Cafetero, by the hand of the professionals in charge and complying with all the biosafety protocols that for times of COVID-19 must be attended to avoid contagions in the territory.

This time, the officials of the Unit arrived at San Daniel district, located one hour and 15 minutes from the municipality of Pennsylvania, in order to work together with the victims that make up the impulse committee (about 30 people) and comply with the diagnosis phase of the damage in the territory.

“With this diagnosis we seek as a Unit to determine all the affectations and violations of human rights and international humanitarian law, suffered by all the inhabitants of San Daniel and its 22 paths due to the armed conflict, from there we can begin to carry out the exercise of formulation of the Comprehensive Collective Reparation Plan based on actions that help the community feel fully repaired", said territorial director Laura Moreno, about this exercise.

In the course of these sessions, recognition methodologies were applied against the emotional state of the inhabitants of the territory, the reports of the members of the committee and leaders of the rural district were heard about the consequences of the presence of illegal armed groups in the municipality and the timeline was performed to have an exact x-ray of what is required to start this repair process.

“We are very grateful to the Victims Unit for this exercise that we have just carried out in San Daniel, the assistance was very good and it was very clear what will be done in this process of collective reparation, these meetings are very important for the community and the recovery of the social network that we so need", said Aracelly Gallo Botero, member of the promotion committee.

The Unit will carry out a last day of diagnosis of the damage during the month of August, applying the methodology of the community map and the use of vignettes, leaving everything ready to start the formulation of the Comprehensive Plan for Collective Reparation.
