Leyner Palacios Asprilla’s Vision for Peace in Colombia

Background 

More than 500 social leaders in Colombia have lost their lives since 2016, murdered for working to build peace. Thousands more have been threatened. When a social leader is threatened or killed, so is their vision for peace in their community

This is Leyner Palacios Asprilla, a social leader whose work to build a better future is just as important as healing the wounds of the past. And this is his vision for peace in Colombia.
