Debate over legal reform
10-2011
Colombia: Bill 06/11 presented by a coalition of the Conservative Party seeking to “guarantee all human beings equal protection of the right to life.” La Mesa por la Vida y la Salud de Las Mujeres lobbied the Office of the High Counsellor for Women, provided legal concepts to members of Congress, participated in a public hearing, and helped facilitate agreements and alliances among different civil society groups. The bill was withdrawn later that year.
