I Felt So Guilty for Being Kidnapped
Jo Fidgen talks to Ana Victoria Bastidas, Colombia's first female Anglican priest. She was kidnapped for helping girls who were going missing from the neighbourhood.
Ana Victoria Bastidas grew up in northern Colombia. In the 1990s she was working as a health worker when she was kidnapped by a guerrilla group and was held for five days. Although she was badly beaten, she spent 25 years being silent about her ordeal, but is now part of "The truth, memory and reconciliation commission of Colombian women in the diaspora", where she has started sharing her story to help other women. She is now about to become the first Colombian female Anglican priest.
