Rutas del Conflicto
Digital-native data journalism outlet that documents the Colombian armed conflict. Since 2014 it has built its own georeferenced database with close to 730 massacres that occurred between 1982 and 2012, systematizing armed actor, date, context and victims' names from the versión libre testimonies of the Justice and Peace process.
