Women human rights defenders and those working on women’s rights or gender issues 2011, para. 95
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur has received information indicating that the Government of Colombia has made efforts to incorporate a gender-dimension into the protection programme for internally displaced women, which has paid special attention to those women leaders of these communities. These efforts have included consultation with this group of women defenders during the design and implementation of specific protection actions. While this is welcome, the Special Rapporteur would like to note that similar efforts would be necessary to protect other groups of women defenders in the country.
