Alternative sentencing for female heads of household Law 2292 of 2023: A path toward gender justice in drug policy in Colombia
Mujeres Libres; International Centre for Human Rights and Drug Policy at the University of Essex; Center of Study on Law, Justice and Society - Dejusticia.
Law 2292 of 2023 introduces an innovative sentencing alternative in Colombia for female heads of household, particularly those involved in drug-related crimes due to socioeconomic vulnerability. Instead of incarceration, eligible women can serve their sentences through unpaid community service. This approach recognizes caregiving roles and aligns with international human rights and drug policy guidelines. It addresses structural inequalities, aiming to prevent incarceration and facilitate reintegration. However, the law’s implementation faces several challenges: limited outreach, inconsistent eligibility criteria, and a lack of employment transition policies. Only a small fraction of eligible women have benefited so far. The document calls for reforms such as expunging criminal records, involving trial judges early in sentencing, and enabling active participation of women with lived experience in monitoring the law. This model aspires to shift from punitive to restorative justice, offering a blueprint for other nations grappling with the incarceration crisis among women.

This report aims to generate doubts and raise questions about the protection of the rights to freedom of expression and opinion, privacy, personal data protection, the closing of spaces for civil society, and the right to protest, as well as the rights of the Venezuelan migrant and refugee population. Through 52 sections containing information about various cases that demonstrate the excessive use of public force against migrants and protesters, the reality of digital violence against women due to gender-related issues, the existing barriers to access to education for migrant girls, boys, and adolescents, the difficulties in accessing and remaining in the labor market for migrant populations, and other aspects of the lack of human rights protection, Dejusticia, the Karisma Foundation, and Privacy International expose these cases of violence and discrimination. In the end, they propose a list of recommendations to the Colombian government regarding the aforementioned cases.
