2. Background (1)
General Information
Total Population: millions (2018)
Poverty: 12,8 millions 27% (WB methodology)
In 2011 Colombia ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)
In 2016 the Committee (CRDP-UN) gives an assessment and worries about the high level of violence, particularly against women and girls with disabilities.
When compared to women and girls without disability, those with disability are 10 times more likely to suffer violence. The girls with intellectual disabilities are particularly vulnerable to sexual abuse.
According to the Institute of Forensic Science and Legal Medicine, in assessments were done for suspected sexual abuse (19.181, 86% corresponding to under 18 age).
According to a studio made in 2017 by Action Program for equality and social inclusion-PAIIS, the families and caregivers are the main sexual offenders of PwID.
57% of the cases were sexual abuse. (181 of out 314 PwID).
60 % of the cases were under 18 age. (108 of out 181 PwID)
PwD: 3 million, 6.4% (Census 2005)
PwD: 7 million, 15% (Estimated WHO)
The services for PwD are based in physical aspects or with regard to deficiencies, without include other fields as education, employment and empowerment. (more evident en rural areas).

3. Situation Analysis (1) Strength of society:
Strong legal framework on rights PwD and children
Opportunity
Some services are available for early intervention in rural and remote areas.
Updating Childhood and Adolescent Public Policy
Weakness of society:
Not enough capability on the family environment, poverty, violent context, (particulary as a result of forced displacement).
The PwD still have not been clearly identified, not only about their characteristics, but their needs as well.
18% of the population are victims of armed conflict
2.8% are PwD ( )
It doesn’t matter if the disability was acquired before, during or after victimizing situations have happened.

4. Situation Analysis (2) Weakness of PWD (PWID) field
Negative perception about PwID (Stigma).
Threat :
Most children with disabilities are not included in health or education services, are discriminated in their communities and suffering cycle of violence and poverty. (UNFPA)
Behaviors and attitudes conscious or unconscious that express exclusion and discrimination are deeply embedded in the culture.
