Colombia Urban Displacement

The community known as Altos de la Florida – on the edge of Soacha, near Bogotá – formed with the arrival of families displaced by decades of violence and acute poverty in Colombia. It is now home to over 700 households who live with intermittent electricity and no running water. One of the biggest challenges facing local residents is their struggle to obtain legal title to the land on which their homes are built. UNHCR has supported negotiations aimed at developing a pathway for them to secure legal ownership of the land. • Information for media: • If you would like to use this video to communicate refugee stories or require B-Roll, transcripts, stills or much more information, please contact us at [email protected] or [email protected]. • --- • Keep up to date with our latest videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/unhcr?su... • -- • UNHCR, the UN refugee agency, works to protect and assist those fleeing war and persecution.
