Towards Transformative Change: Women and the Implementation of the Colombian Peace Accord

ALCANCE Y CONTENIDO

This report, launched in Colombia on the second anniversary of the Final Peace Agreement, builds on events held by ABColombia in London on the first anniversary in November 2017, which included a conference and a closed high-level roundtable event. The roundtable evento brought together representatives of governments, parliaments and civil society from several countries that have played a key role in the peace process, including the Republic of Colombia, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, the Kingdom of Sweden, the Kingdom of Norway and the European Union. The discussions and the recommendations from these two events led to this report written a year after. It discusses the key agreements benefiting women, their current level of implementation and the role that women are playing. It incorporates issues and análisis from the conference along with the advances in implementation made by November 2018, and makes recommendations for the new Colombian Government, the governments of the UK, Ireland, Sweden and Norway and the European Union.
