Colombia’s People’s Ombudsman (Defensoría del Pueblo) has called on Colombia’s authorities to urgently strengthen prevention, protection and access to justice measures for women, girls, and LGBTIQ+ people in Colombia. The call stems from the data found by the Observatory for Femicides in Colombia, which reported over 123 femicides and over 4000 sexual assault victims between January and April 2025.
