Abstract

This policy brief is a working tool for the formulation of regional and national peacebuilding advocacy agendas from the perspectives of LGBTI mobilizations. It addresses lines of action, the contents of such agendas, and suggestions for public policy advocacy and follow-up on commitments to the implementation of the Final Agreement, particularly those being developed as part of the Comprehensive System of Truth, Justice, Reparation and Non-Repetition (SIVJRNR). The document begins with a brief account of the impacts of the Colombian armed conflict on LGBTI people and organizations, continues with a balance of the state of implementation, and ends with the identification of several areas that require action and can provide clues as to where to focus advocacy efforts in the coming years. It is therefore a useful resource for activists, public servants, and organizations working on related issues.
