On October 10th 2019 the BioResilience Project organized\u00a0a roundtable on Women, Politics and Environment in the municipality of Puerto Boyac\u00e1. For the first time during the campaign period ahead of the departmental and local elections, the candidates standing for Mayor, the\u00a0Municipal Council and the Departmental Assembly, as well as the leaders of the veredas of the municipality, met to discuss the role of women in politics and their commitments to the environmental conservation in the municipality. More than 40 women, activists, politicians, and candidates discussed deforestation in the Serran\u00eda de las Quinchas, environmental sanitation in Puerto Boyac\u00e1 and contamination in the Palagua swamp due oil extraction.<\/p>\n


\nThey all agreed on the relevance of promoting women participation in politics, to defend\u00a0life and the environment and to transform the violent and patriarchal practices that oil extraction and the presence of illegal armed groups have installed in politics and in daily life in this municipality.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The roundtable counted on the active participation of two of the candidates running to become Mayor, Barbara Machado and M\u00f3nica P\u00e9rez. While Barbara Machado is an Afro-Colombian leader with extensive leadership experience in this region, M\u00f3nica P\u00e9rez is a young woman who has strongly supported the struggles of the outsourced oil workers and engaged with communities affected by oil pollution. They both agreed that environmental conservation must be done with the communities through consultations and by involving them in productive projects that allow them to take root and establish their life projects in the Quinchas, in the Ci\u00e9naga de Palagua and in other parts of Puerto Boyac\u00e1. They underlined that actions taken to conserve nature should not be a new way of justifying displacement of communities.<\/p>\n

The round table was the second public activity of the group \u201cWomen Life Projects the in Quinchas\u201d in Puerto Boyac\u00e1, and which is supported by the Research Project BioResilience. The group has been established to generate local awareness and capacities for the conservation and empowerment of the communities that inhabit the Serrania de las Quinchas regional park in Puerto Boyac\u00e1-Colombia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
