Photo Caption:
In the middle of the jungle in western Colombia, indigenous communities have lived under the shadow of armed conflict for years. In recent months, non-state armed groups have been controlling the population, restricting their mobility and using schools for military purposes; children cannot study, which has become a privilege difficult for them to access regularly.
Daily activities in these communities have changed; farming, fishing, and hunting have been restricted. They cannot easily get their food for fear of encountering armed actors. The use of landmines on roads and crops is a growing concern.
Uncertainty and fear have become part of everyday life in the indigenous communities. They have suffered from the conflict for years and fear that the outlook for the next few years will not improve.
