Colombia
Goals for 2015
Gender Equality
Every day two women die in Colombia just for the simple fact that they are a woman. The goal is to completely have the abuse and violence come to a stop in Colombia. UN Women, UNFPA and IOM are the ones who are in charge of the program. The program was also joined with 13 other programs to help people see gender inequalities and see the way that violence is done to women.
99% of the abortions that take place are illegal
On average every 4 days a woman was murdered by her spouse.
Women work about 10 hours more a week than men and still get paid 20% less
Universal Education​​
In Colombia the way the school system is set up is kids go to daycare until they are 6 years old from there to stay in school from ages 6-12 doing grades 1-5. From the age of 12-15 they do basic secondary school and after doing the secondary school they have to take a test called prueba de estado.
