<p>All UK ODA programmes are required to take account of gender. The FCO Human Rights
Fund has allocated over £1.5m for projects in Colombia related to the prevention of
sexual violence since 2011. This programme supports grass roots women’s organisations
in ten regional departments through financing their umbrella organisation in Bogota.
During 2018, programmes managed by our Embassy in Colombia have worked with over 400
women in rural areas supporting their empowerment and access to justice. The UK has
also supported the documentation of over 1200 cases of conflict-related sexual violence,
and helped bring these cases before the transitional justice system. One of the International
Climate Finance (ICF) programmes in Colombia will open a “call for proposals” in January
2019 for projects working with indigenous organisations led by indigenous women in
the Colombian Amazon.</p>
