Since 1996, the Ruta Pacifica, a feminist, pacifist, anti-military organization, has been organizing caravans of thousands of women from all over Colombia to the regions hardest-hit by conflict. Each caravan is a symbolic gesture against the war and a practical opportunity for women to come together to exchange ideas and demand an end to human rights violations.

In this notebook we learn about how an international organization called Peace Brigade protects targeted organizations by sending accompaniment of international field workers.  This accompaniment allows these organizations to continue to fight human rights abuses while making it harder for governments to target them because of the international presence.
