Elva lives near the port city of Tumaco on Colombia's Pacific coast. As a community leader and women's rights activist she saw and experienced the violence that became an everyday occurrence for those living in Tumaco, as the military, the FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) leftist guerrilla group, and other armed groups fought for control. In this interview Elva, talks about her experiences in Tumaco and the support she has been given by an MSF psychologist.
