Since the signing of the peace agreement in Colombia with the FARC-EP guerilla in 2016, we have been working with our partners for the participation of conflict-affected women in its implementation. Our programme is committed to ensuring that their experiences and concerns are included in the transformation to a sustainably peaceful society.

Women continue to live with the complex effects of the ten-year armed conflict that ended with a peace agreement in 2006. Yet, they were effectively excluded from the peace negotiations and their participation in transitional justice processes remains severely restricted. With our programme, we strengthen the agency of women and young people affected by the conflict and enable their access to political decision-makers so that they can hold the government accountable to finally deal with the violent past and its consequences.
