La Liga de Mujeres Desplazadas
Directing Programs which Generate Peace and Security for Displaced Women

Patricia is a founding member, legal advisor and Director of the Technical Committee of La Liga de Mujeres Desplazadas (League of Displaced Women) or La Liga, in Colombia which supports and advocates for the rights of internally displaced women and children, particularly Afro-Colombian and Indigenous peoples. Her more than 10 years of work with displaced women in conflict zones has earned her the recognition of the European Union, members of the United States Congress, as well as the Colombian Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.  The United Nations Development Program has recognized the work of Liga de Mujeres Desplazadas as an example of a "best practice" for overcoming conflict. Patricia’s project will seek the restitution of human rights for the two million women who suffer discrimination, inequality and social injustice and have survived internal armed conflict.
