Human rights violations against women in intramural confinement in colombia

Abstract

It is no secret that the rights of the female population deprived of their liberty are violated by the almost nonexistent public policies in this regard, the precarious conditions of the country's prisons and jails, the few guarantees provided by the State, among others. Likewise, from a gender perspective, the female prison population is a discriminated population group, because when speaking of penitentiaries and prisons, the male ones are generally understood, making the specific needs of women invisible. Therefore, the research aims to answer the problem question: In what way are the human rights of women in prison and penitentiary establishments in Colombia violated? Analyzing the guarantor role of the Colombian State with respect to this issue from a qualitative documentary methodology, focused on the review of specialized literature and national and international standards on the subject. In this way, three specific objectives are addressed: i) To identify the human rights of women in prison in Colombia, ii) To compare the human rights of women in prison in Colombia and Mexico and iii) To determine the violation of the human rights of women in prison in Colombia. In order to contribute to the visibility of the problem and address a national perspective contrasted with other legislations.
