Land Restitution and Gender Equity in Colombia: Is the Victims Law Doing Justice? A Talk with Donny Meertens Associate Professor at Javeriana University, Bogotá, Colombia Fellow, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars Georgetown University, Car Barn 230 November 13, 12 -1:30 pm Please RSVP via EventBrite at https://eventbrite/event/8959836111 Historical Memory work on violent land dispossession and peasant resistance during Colombia´s 50 years of armed conflict has showed the interplay of historical discriminations and the impact of violence on access to land for peasant and indigenous women. The recent Victims and Land Restitution Law opens up new spaces for redress of human rights violations, but does it also address historical inequalities? The implementation of the Law constitutes a contested space for different discourses on rights, justice, gender and “the land question”. Join us for a discussion with Donny Meertens to explore these questions.
