Inter-ethnic Forum Solidaridad Chocó
The Inter-ethnic Forum Solidaridad Chocó is a space for dialogue and coordination between ethnic-territorial organizations of black, indigenous, mestizo communities, of young people, rural and urban women, and victims of the armed conflict in the department of Chocó. It was born in 2001 as a strategy of protection and interlocution of the communities in the context of humanitarian crisis caused by the armed conflict in the region. Its purpose is, within a regional peace agenda, to develop organizational policies for the construction of community autonomy, the defense of the territory and natural resources. The forum is made up of 123 human rights organizations. In 2016 was awarded with two prizes: Franco-German Human Rights Award "Antonio Nariño" and the National Award for the Defense of Human Rights.
