Filed Bill for Victims of Feminicide

A legislative initiative to guarantee comprehensive protection for children, adolescents, and young people who lost their mothers due to feminicide in Colombia.

About the Bill

This bill, filed by Representative Carolina Giraldo Botero, seeks to ensure that the Colombian State provides comprehensive, dignified, and long-term protection to the sons and daughters of women who were victims of feminicide.
