Outcome Report >> Colombia, Comment, 30th Session, May 2018

Action Canada for Population and Development pointed out that, although Colombia had received recommendations relating to sexual rights, there was a clear need for an urgent and comprehensive approach from all areas by the State. It had regretted that specific forms of violence against women were not reflected in recommendations, which could create further visibility. It urged Colombia to address in a comprehensive and intersectional manner those recommendations about gender and sexuality formulated in a general manner in order to facilitate their proper implementation. It also asked for the recognition of historically invisible and marginalized women to be included within public policies and legislative measures. [Para 567]
