Threats and police violence: early warnings to prevent and information to bring about change

This bulletin provides a concise summary of the findings derived from institutional responses to the petitions submitted by the Colombia Diversa Human Rights Observatory in 2024. It is important to note that the requests focused on documenting threats, police violence and related acts of violence against LGBTIQ+ people in various regions of the country. The results are based on the analysis of 43 responses to freedom of information requests submitted to institutions, out of a total of 114 requests sent during 2025.

Thus, through this analysis, it seeks to highlight the barriers in access to information, the gaps in data justice and the persistent statistical invisibility that affect the processes of building historical memory and data justice for LGBTIQ+ people in Colombia.

Counting diversity: a practical guide to using LGBTIQ+ data

More than isolated figures, data tell stories, as they reflect methodological, political and ethical choices that can include or exclude, amplify or silence. In the case of LGBTIQ+ people, the absence of information or the inappropriate use of figures can have serious consequences such as invisibilisation, re-victimisation or even the reproduction of hate speech.

Dialogues for encounter

Colombia Diversa's methodological proposal aimed at creating enabling conditions for dialogue between two unequal sectors of the armed conflict: victims of gender-based violence and ex-combatants.

Not to be forgotten: Disappearance, displacement and forced migration of people with diverse sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression in the context of the Colombian armed conflict.

In the shadows of the Colombian armed conflict are hidden stories and accounts of lives erased by prejudice and indifference. People with diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and/or gender expression (OSIEGD) have been victims of violence that not only seeks to generate physical, economic and psychological harm, but also to eliminate their symbolic and collective existence.
