SUMMARYIn 2022, the Ecoceanos Corporation provided psychological support, workshops and educational talks to the Afro-descendant community located in northern Colombia. Several members of this community are strongly discriminated against by their own families, as they are not allowed to be part of the LGTIBQ community, forcing some to abandon their homes, in search of a more dignified life where they do not feel the rejection of society.
