His has been one of the ethnic communities most affected by the armed conflict.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font--secondary\">Around the time Edisson was born in the nineties, the Aw\u00e1 territory, located in Nari\u00f1o and a part of Putumayo, began to be besieged by guerrilla groups seeking control of the area, attracted by its proximity to the Pacific Ocean (ideal for direct trafficking) and the concentration of illicit crops.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div id=\"dfp-ad-Primis_VDU_primis_Ix\" class=\"Primis_VDU arcad\" data-google-query-id=\"CJvvzfyZhP8CFTjr4wcdeV8Mfg\">\n<p class=\"font--secondary\">At least three Constitutional Court rulings recognize the vulnerability of the Aw\u00e1 and demand their protection, including Order 174 of 2011, which decrees precautionary measures for their safeguard. But the situation is complex. \u201cIt has not been easy to live here,\u201d says Edisson. \u201cYou have to be careful, not get involved with anyone, try to be neutral so as not to have enemies.\u201d Over the last thirty years, the Aw\u00e1 have been victims of homicides, massacres, displacements, and confinements, as well as the forced integration of members of their community into armed groups.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sunmedia-1\">\n<div id=\"sm-it-main-container-1684595544548\" class=\"sm-it-main-container\" data-it=\"32208033-ab22-486b-9ff6-15c42645c7ee\" data-device=\"desktop\" data-index=\"0\">\n<p class=\"font--secondary\">In 2013, while Edisson was finishing high school in the municipality of Ricaurte, his reservation experienced a lockdown due to clashes between the Army and the guerrilla. The entire community concentrated at a single point for several weeks. The government brought and delivered food. \u201cPeople would run, hide, it was complicated,\u201d he recalls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font--secondary\">In the midst of the conflict, however, the Aw\u00e1 continue to resist. Edisson has not given up on his studies and, in addition to graduating from high school, he is now pursuing an undergraduate degree in financial administration and a specialization in project formulation. \u201cThere is a lot of work to be done here,\u201d he explains. Among his projects, Edisson has in mind to revive the communications collective and the radio station he directed in high school, under the guidance of the Chacana social organization, which has been dedicated to supporting the Awa community since 2011.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font--secondary\">\u201cThat was a very useful initiative,\u201d Edisson recalls. \u201cWe would go out to the reservations to investigate and talk to our elders about our knowledge, to create pieces for the radio station.\u201d Several young people who were part of the project continued their training in communications, including Edisson, who later completed a diploma with the International Telecommunication Union.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font--secondary\">\u201cIn the territory, when people go hunting or work the land, they converse and talk about their stories,\u201d explains Iv\u00e1n Rodr\u00edguez, a lawyer from the University of Nari\u00f1o and a member of the Chacana organization. \u201cAnd displacement breaks that intergenerational exchange. The idea of the radio program was to give them back their role as protectors of their traditions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"font--secondary\">For Lina Rond\u00f3n, director of the Las Paces organization, one of the difficulties in addressing the violations against the Aw\u00e1 is the distance from the capital and the difficult access to the territory. \u201cIn the end, these are more compensated for by local organizations like Chacana than by the national government itself,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"font--secondary\"><em>The importance of empowering the community<\/em><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_76973\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/develop.dejusticia.org\/en\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-20-at-10.27.34-AM.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76973\" class=\"wp-image-76973 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/develop.dejusticia.org\/en\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-20-at-10.27.34-AM.jpeg\" alt=\"Corporaci\u00f3n Chacana\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/develop.dejusticia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-20-at-10.27.34-AM.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/develop.dejusticia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-20-at-10.27.34-AM-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/develop.dejusticia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-20-at-10.27.34-AM-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/develop.dejusticia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-20-at-10.27.34-AM-240x180.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/develop.dejusticia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-20-at-10.27.34-AM-640x480.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/develop.dejusticia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-20-at-10.27.34-AM-215x161.jpeg 215w, https:\/\/develop.dejusticia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-20-at-10.27.34-AM-320x240.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/develop.dejusticia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-20-at-10.27.34-AM-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/develop.dejusticia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-20-at-10.27.34-AM-600x450.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-76973\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Chacana Corporation.<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"font--secondary\">The Chacana organization originated within a group of eight friends from different public university majors who shared the same interest in the protection of indigenous communities and their knowledge, and a special affinity for art and nature. \u201cWe had the dream of a different society,\u201d recalls Ximena Ord\u00f3\u00f1ez, an Industrial Engineer from the National University and one of the founders of the group, \u201cwith less conflict and less damage from war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"font--secondary\">The group decided to name their organization &#8220;Chacana,&#8221; in honor of one of the most important Quechua symbols: a square cross that is also a constellation and for the Andean indigenous people represents the balance between opposites, the feminine and the masculine, the divine and the earthly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font--secondary\">The first project Chacana developed with the Aw\u00e1 was funded by international cooperation in 2011, and it sought to help strengthen the women&#8217;s and family coordination of the Unipa (Indigenous Unit of the Aw\u00e1 People) and Camawari (the Aw\u00e1 Major Council of Ricaurte) organizations. \u201cThe idea was for women to learn about their rights and strengthen their capacities for leadership and community work,\u201d says Mercedes Villota, a sociologist from the University of Nari\u00f1o and the current legal representative of the organization.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font--secondary\">But making contact with the community was more complex than they imagined. Visiting the reservations often involved several hours of walking through the coastal foothills\u2014sometimes up to 9 hours on foot\u2014as well as rethinking their strategies once they entered the territory. \u201cThey were thinking about their crops, their animals, whether it was going to rain or not,\u201d Iv\u00e1n recalls, \u201cso it was very complicated to approach them with master classes on rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"font--secondary\">They also noticed that the Aw\u00e1 lived in a constant state of fear and it was essential to build bonds of trust with them. \u201cWe realized that it was important to get to know them in their daily spaces, like the kitchen, and fieldwork,\u201d says Mercedes. \u201cAs well as during their journeys through the territory, an activity that is central to their life and culture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"font--secondary\">The members of Chacana also used tools they knew from the arts and theater to conduct their workshops. They delved into Aw\u00e1 cosmogony and myths and used clown techniques as well as puppets to explain issues such as prior consultation and to teach them to speak in public and maintain eye contact. Little by little, they earned the trust of this community, with whom they would continue to work on different projects to this day. And with whom they would continue to explore and learn different ways of doing so.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"font--secondary\"><em>Leaders who replicate the work<\/em><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_76971\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/develop.dejusticia.org\/en\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-20-at-10.27.34-AM-2.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76971\" class=\"wp-image-76971 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/develop.dejusticia.org\/en\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-20-at-10.27.34-AM-2.jpeg\" alt=\"Corporaci\u00f3n Chacana\" width=\"1024\" height=\"472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/develop.dejusticia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-20-at-10.27.34-AM-2.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/develop.dejusticia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-20-at-10.27.34-AM-2-325x150.jpeg 325w, https:\/\/develop.dejusticia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-20-at-10.27.34-AM-2-768x354.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/develop.dejusticia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-20-at-10.27.34-AM-2-720x332.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/develop.dejusticia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-20-at-10.27.34-AM-2-215x99.jpeg 215w, https:\/\/develop.dejusticia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-20-at-10.27.34-AM-2-320x148.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/develop.dejusticia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-20-at-10.27.34-AM-2-150x69.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/develop.dejusticia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-20-at-10.27.34-AM-2-600x277.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-76971\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Chacana Corporation.<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"font--secondary\">When Chacana arrived in the territory, Do\u00f1a Doris Gamez* was still mourning her husband, who had been murdered by the Farc nine years earlier. At that time, and after having isolated herself as a result of the tragedy, at 42 years old, she decided to start attending the organization&#8217;s workshops. \u201cI liked the idea of focusing more on the community,\u201d she says. \u201cBecause I had been very caught up in the home.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"elespectador-arc\/colombia\/corporacion-chacana-una-organizacion-que-apoya-a-los-awa arcad\" data-google-query-id=\"COaW6a-ahP8CFUIdwQodx40LGQ\">\n<p class=\"font--secondary\">Doris especially remembers the &#8220;Great Basket&#8221; booklet. A manual that Chacana created together with the community, which used the analogy of weaving a basket to explain women&#8217;s rights, as well as gender-based violence. The workshop attendees also learned how to explain the booklet to other women in other reservations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font--secondary\">Doris was with Chacana for a couple of years and then continued working on her own. Unbeknownst to her, her commitment has inspired other Aw\u00e1 women, including her own daughters: Doris says she will not forget the day her youngest daughter told her, upon returning from a visit to another reservation, that she wanted to continue studying. \u201cShe had been impressed with the workshop I had given and how people had expressed themselves and told me that she wanted to be a psychologist to help them.\u201d And today her daughter is on that path to achieving it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font--secondary\">At 54 years old, Do\u00f1a Doris has just finished high school and is now doing a technical degree in early childhood. Lately, she has been dedicated to advocating for a problem with the trans-Andean pipeline that caused an oil spill in the river. The community is working on a lawsuit with the help of a lawyers&#8217; organization, although this has earned them several threatening calls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font--secondary\">For her part, Do\u00f1a Isabel Linares*, who was the women&#8217;s and family advisor for Unipa when Chacana arrived in the territory, states that the support the organization gave them on the topic of gender was very good. \u201cBefore, gender-based violence was not talked about. Women kept silent. We didn&#8217;t know how to differentiate the different types of violence, and they were explaining it to us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"font--secondary\">With Chacana&#8217;s support, the former advisor also managed to establish a special space for women that is still standing: \u201cThe Aw\u00e1 Women&#8217;s House,\u201d for victims of sexual abuse and mistreatment within the framework of the conflict and family life. The house is also a space for women to meet in confidence, as well as a rest stop for all those who must travel from one reservation to another to carry out organizational strengthening activities like those conducted with Chacana.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font--secondary\">Like Edisson, Isabel and Doris know that the situation is difficult but they cannot stand by idly. Although conditions in the territory have not improved, but have even worsened after the Peace Agreement\u2014&#8221;now the dissidences have several names and you can&#8217;t even understand what is happening,&#8221; Isabel says\u2014they know they must move forward. And they are grateful for the work and support of organizations like Chacana, without which they would surely have very different stories to tell.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Related:<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><a style=\"color: #800000;\"
