On the occasion of International Women’s Day, we express our unwavering solidarity with women and girls in Ukraine who are caught up in the war.  

In line with the UN Security Council resolution 1325, we call on Russia to respectfully the international law applicable to the rights and protection of women and girls, especially civilians, and to take special measures to protect Ukrainian women and girls from gender-based violence.

The Embassy of Colombia will continue to stand in solidarity with women and girls in Ukraine and call for action to protect peace and respect human dignity.
