She grew up in one of the most affected areas in the Colombian civil war that took the lives of more than 200,000 people, including two of her uncles. Her experiences of conflict led Alejandra Miller Restrepo to join the «Ruta Pacifica de las Mujeres», a movement that opposes violence against women and champions their inclusion in peacebuilding. Today, Alejandra, a professor at the University of Cauca, is a member of Colombia’s Truth Commission, where she is committed to making women’s voices heard.
