Purpose

The purpose of the consultancy is to conduct an in-depth research and analysis to understand the GBV which disproportionately affects girls, young women, and women in humanitarian crisis and conflict situations in Colombia. It will identify and analyze the key gender inequalities, issues and constraints and existent humanitarian responses. The analysis will contribute to identify and explain the gender gaps between men and women that belong to the following groups: rural/urban inhabitants, Afrodescendant and Indigenous peoples.
