4 of 10

Maria in her barrack home in the slum outside Quibdo in the west of Colombia. "The guerillas arrived at our door one day in 2001." Says Maria, "They demanded that my son should join the fighting. I talked with them at the door, trying to convince them not to take him. At the same time, my son escaped through the window at the back. Since then, I have never seen my son." Colombia, November, 2007
