Kolumbien. The Fight for Women’s Rights Behind Bars in Colombia

Kolumbien. The Fight for Women’s Rights Behind Bars in Colombia

(…) In Colombia, most women in prison come from low-income backgrounds and serve time mostly for crimes related to drug trafficking. However, my work focused on the reality of all incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women. Corporación Humanas served as the technical secretariat within the commission, creating a system of oversight to ensure these women are given appropriate psychosocial and legal support. I represented the organization by monitoring the situation and writing reports along with other coalition representatives. (OSF – Open Society Foundations, USA, 22.05.2024)
