Briefing Paper. Justice Is Setting Them Free: Women, Drugs Policies, And Incarceration In Latin America
Coletta Youngers
The purpose of this report is to reflect on almost ten years of collective research and joint advocacy by the working group, its achievements and disappointments, as well as challenges and opportunities for the future. The first effort was the publication and dissemination of “Women, Drug Policy and Incarceration: A Guide for Policy Reform in Latin America and the Caribbean,” which provides a roadmap for reducing the incarceration of women. The working group later published additional research and reports, proposing sound and clear policy recommendations that were valuable inputs for advocacy. In nearly ten years of collective action, the working group has succeeded in placing this issue on the agenda of relevant UN and OAS bodies and in countries across the region, creating a propitious environment for carrying out reforms.

Cindy Woods; Jérôme Chaplier; Claret Vargas
Dejusticia junto con el ICAR y el ECCJ presentan una actualización del reporte Assessments of Existing National Action Plans (NAPs) on Business and Human Rights, que evalúa los Planes Nacionales de Acción en Negocios y Derechos Humanos (NAPS) de 12 países de Europa y América, incluyendo el de Colombia. A medida que la creación de Planes Nacionales de Acción (PNAs) en negocios y derechos humanos continua proliferando globalmente, es esencial que los PNAs existentes se analicen cuidadosamente, en términos de su contenido y sus procesos para sugerir mejoras y conseguir mejores prácticas. Estas evaluaciones estructuradas de los PNAs están basadas en el ICAR-Danish Human Rights Institute (DIHR) NAPs Toolkit, publicado en Junio del 2014 que establece 25 criterios para evaluar los procesos de los Estados y los contenidos de los planes. La evaluación de los PNAs por parte del ICAR, ECCJ y Dejusticia busca construir una retroalimentación crítica y estructurada para los Estados que ya han desarrollado sus planes y establecer un punto de referencia para los Estados que los están desarrollando.

Women, Drug Policies, and Incarceration: A Guide for Policy Reform in Colombia
Rodrigo Uprimny Yepes; Margarita Martínez Osorio; Luis Felipe Cruz-Olivera; Sergio Raúl Chaparro Hernández; Nina Chaparro González
The war on drugs has been a failure: even though more people have been incarcerated, accused of drug crimes, the consumption of substances hasn’t reduced, the narcotic traffic keeps growing and the violence associated to it has increased. The drug policy in Colombia has focused on criminalizing and imprisoning the lowest-ranking members of the drug trade, who are mainly poor people that occupy a marginal relationship with the business and with society. And there is a particular tendency for single mothers, who haven’t been able to find a formal job, to get involved in the illegal drug trade networks, developing high-risk tasks which are poorly remunerated. This document, on the one hand, makes a diagnosis about the situation of women linked with drug crimes in Colombia and the impact that has in their lives and families. On the other hand, It also offers public policy recommendations aimed at mitigating incarceration’s disproportionate effects on these women, with an eye toward preventing such effects in the future.
