Gender Equality in Colombia
Access to Justice and Politics at the Local Level
This report assesses women’s access to justice and women’s political participation
in parliament, local councils and civil society organisations in Colombia. It examines
existing legal, political and institutional frameworks in order to better understand
successes, challenges and implementation gaps in the government’s pursuit of access
to justice and gender equality. The report also offers examples of different approaches
in OECD member and partner countries to support Colombia in closing gender gaps. Based
on this analysis, the report proposes actionable solutions to help Colombia design
and deliver policies that effectively promote women’s political participation and
access to justice, including for survivors of gender based violence.
