National Committee against the Violence against Women
The National Committee against the Violence against Women (CONVIMU) was created by Law 82 of 2013, which, among other aspects, typifies Femicide and sanctions violence against women. The Committee is made up of, on the one hand, 15 public officials, and on the other, representatives of civil society organizations with a proven track record in the fight against violence against women. CONVIMU responds to the National Institute for Women, and its functions are: to design policies to prevent and eradicate violence against women; monitor existing policies for this purpose; monitor that the media does not promote violence against women and that civil society organizations promote the entry and equal participation of women without any discrimination; technically support the National Institute for Women to monitor compliance with Law 82 and monitor the situation of violence against women in the country.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
