Resilience as a prevention mechanism: Colombia
A Talk by Felipe Botero , Ces Marianne , Joshua Mitrotti , Julie Peña , Alejandro Cruz and Juan Carlos Nieto
About this Talk
We will discuss the process of designing the crime and violence prevention recommendations that resulted from 10 multi-stakeholders’ dialogues (Resilience Dialogues) held in 10 conflict and crime affected municipalities. What were the main findings and lessons learnt? What is the importance of proper representation? How to build safe spaces and guarantee a gender, ethnic and no harm approach? How to translate this into public policy and advocacy?
