Yolanda Becerra Vega (born 1959) is a Colombian feminist and pacifist activist. She is the founder and currently the national director[1] of the National Directorate of the Popular Women's Organization (Spanish: Organización Femenina Popular; OFP), an entity created in 1972 in the Diocese's Pastoral Ministry, which in 1988 became an autonomous organization based in Barrancabermeja to support women in peaceful resistance against violence and defend peaceful dialogue. She is currently putting her efforts into establishing entities for women such as the construction of a Museum of Memory and Human Rights for Women [2] and she also developed Women's Agendas for Territory and Peace. [3]
During more than four decades in defense of women victims of the conflict in Barrancabermeja and Magdalena Medio, she has suffered persecution and siege by paramilitary groups and has been threatened with death on several occasions.[4] The Office of the Attorney General itself denounced the plan of the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia to assassinate her.[5] The Popular Women's Organization and other social groups that opposed the violence were declared military targets and obligated to take forceful protection measures.[5]
