Democracy strengthens the ability of communities to build a prosperous society that guarantees human rights, freedoms, equality, political pluralism, and accountable government.
The upcoming Presidential elections in Colombia offer a historic opportunity for Colombians to transform their Democracy and bring about lasting peace. Colombians both in the country and abroad are mobilizing to defend their human right to fair and free elections.
