We promote social justice
But we cannot do it alone
Social justice in Colombia
There is a long history of violence and social injustice in Colombia and Medellín.
The power structure and rampant corruption have created a complex situation in which social injustice can proliferate.
The level of income disparity in Colombia is one of the highest in the world.
Violence, crime and corruption have become normal and hinder economic opportunities for large sectors of the population.
Equality is for everyone
We all deserve to live in dignified situations and have equal opportunities in terms of health, education and work.

sustainable development goals:
