[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]On Friday May 3rd<\/sup>, Elena Garc\u00e9s Echavarr\u00eda, co-founder of the Alvaralice Foundation, launched her book, \u2018Colombian Women, the struggle out of silence\u2019, at the Manuel Olivella Hall during the 32nd <\/sup>International Book Fair in Bogota. The book was presented during a panel discussion led by journalist Claudia Palacios.<\/p>\n

In her book, the author analyzes the culture, history, economics, laws and religion in Colombia, while promoting ideas that question the restrictions imposed to women by Colombian society.<\/p>\n

By documenting 18 stories of Colombian women from different walks of life, including the author herself, the book explores the experiences and challenges that these women have faced and their difficult relationships with the Colombian social institutions.<\/p>\n

The book was first printed in English in 2008. The Spanish translation was made by Elena Garc\u00e9s and Milagros Ter\u00e1n to share the findings gathered in the book with Spanish-speaking readers.<\/p>\n

This book inspired the creation of \u2018Colomb!anas: A Collective Bio\u2019 (www.colombianas.org)<\/a> an interactive digital platform that compiles interviews of Colombian women of different ages, ethnicities and origins, giving a collective account of the experience of being a woman in Colombia. Thanks to Elena’s the example and encouragement\u00a0 \u2013who was the first to sit in front of the cameras to tell her story\u2013 the production of the first stage of this project was possible.<\/p>\n

Today the project consists of a virtual platform that allows Colombian women to share their stories and document their life experiences.<\/p>\n
