Book Ingrid Betancourt
Íngrid Betancourt is a Colombian-French former senator, political leader and campaigner against corruption. Born in Bogotá and educated at Sciences Po in Paris, she entered Colombian politics in the 1990s, winning a seat in the Chamber of Representatives in 1994 and moving to the Senate in 1998, where she served until 2001. As founder of the Oxygen Green Party, she became known for her fierce stand against political corruption. In 2002, while running for president as a Green candidate, she was taken hostage by FARC guerrillas and held in the jungle for six years, becoming a global symbol of resistance to political violence, before her rescue in July 2008 during Operation Jaque alongside 14 other hostages. In 2023 she earned a doctorate in theology from Harris Manchester College, Oxford. Her many honors include the Princess of Asturias Award for Concord in 2008, the rank of Knight of the Legion of Honour, honorary citizenship of Paris in 2002, the Petra-Kelly-Preis in 2002, the Geuzenpenning in 2004, the M100 Media Award in 2008 and a place on the BBC 100 Women list in 2013. Betancourt speaks on resilience, freedom and democracy.
