Colombian authorities are failing survivors of sexual violence | Ekklesia:


The Colombian authorities have failed to tackle the lack of justice for women and girl survivors during the country's long-running armed conflict, Amnesty International says in a new report today.
“Women and girls in Colombia are often treated as trophies of war. They are raped and sexually abused by all the warring parties as a way to silence and punish them,” commented Susan Lee, Americas Director at Amnesty.
