37th Sess, U.N. Doc. CEDAW/C/COL/CO/6 (2007)
Annotation:
Commenting on the country report submitted by
Colombia for its 37th Session, the Committee
notes the positive steps that Colombia has
taken to combat VAW, including measures to
strengthen legislative, policy and
institutional frameworks with respect to
persistence of violence. The Committee is
concerned, however, that the general climate
of violence and insecurity negatively impacts
the full implementation of the Convention and
that the links between drug trafficking and
other forms of trafficking, including sex
tourism and economic exploitation, are
particularly harmful to women.
