United Nations in Colombia implements transformative actions for the lives of women with disabilities and caregivers

The article discusses the situation of women with disabilities and caregivers in Colombia, highlighting that nearly three million people live with disabilities, with over half being women. Many require support from family members for daily activities, and caregiving responsibilities often fall disproportionately on women, especially those caring for individuals with disabilities. The United Nations Women (ONU Mujeres), in collaboration with UNDP, UNICEF, and the UN Population Fund, launched a project called 'Unpaid Care Work, Disability and Transformative Gender Approach' to address these challenges. This initiative includes training programs for women with disabilities and pilot services in the El Rubí neighborhood of Villavicencio. The program aims to strengthen local care systems and promote gender equality by ensuring the rights of women with disabilities and caregivers remain central to policies.
