Women Seeding Peace EN banner

Women Seeding Peace is a video web series created by PASO Colombia, a program of One Earth Future.  The series presents stories of transformation, sharing the lives of women who have left illicit crops behind to sow a new future of peace in their communities. These women have participated in PASO Colombia’s Contingency Plan to Support Ex-coca Grower Families, which has lended support in 10 municipalities, assisting 1,967 families registered in the Colombian government’s National Comprehensive Program for the Substitution of Illicit Crops (PNIS), developed as part of the implementation of the Peace Agreement.

The Contingency Plan to Support Ex-coca Grower Families is funded by the UN Multipartner Trust Fund for Sustaining Peace in Colombia, and implemented by PASO Colombia in coordination with the Presidential Office for Stabilization and Consolidation.
