EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - Feminist organisations as agents of norm change - Advancing justice for victim-survivors

15 Aug 2024

This has led to failed applications of the law, a lack of official recognition of victim-survivors of GBV, and the misuse of the law to re-victimise complainants. [...] The judgment marks the culmination of the process, in which the judge defines the rights and obligations of the parties involved in the proceedings’ (see Constitutional Court Colombia, n.d.). [...] The case adds to a series of progressive decisions by the Constitutional Court on the rights of migrants in the context of the exodus of Venezuelan citizens. [...] In addition to ordering reparation measures for the family, the Court ordered the Ministry of Education, the Ombudsman’s Office and the Superior Council of the Judiciary to implement structural measures to ensure non-repetition, obliging these institutions to transform the discriminatory gender norms that have guided their actions to date. [...] Among the legal achievements of the organisations are: the incorporation by the judiciary of an intersectional gender approach, the recognition of the seriousness of GBV, and the granting of protection measures to women and LGBTQI+ people.
