Title: Sexual Violence in Colombia: Instrument of War

Summary: Sexual violence has been employed as a weapon of war by all of the armed groups involved in the half-century-old Colombia conflict. State military forces, paramilitaries and guerrila groups have used sexual violence with the goal of terrorizing communities, using women as instruments to achieve their military objectives. This paper calls for the European Union, and particularly the United Kingdom, to pressure the Colombia government to fulfil its responsibility of protecting the civilian population by putting an end to this situation and punishing those responsible.
