Human rights lawyers dedicate their lives to representing victims in cases of forced disappearances, extrajudicial executions and massacres. But working on emblematic cases comes with a very high price. In Colombia, where 90% of human rights violations remain in impunity, stigmatisation, threats and persecution are part of the daily pressures these lawyers must face.
