Additionally, notable Colombian female leaders such as Clara López, Marta Lucía Ramírez, and Vivian Morales are recognized for their impact on national politics. The program emphasizes the importance of gender equity in decision-making and the crucial role of women in building more inclusive and democratic societies.
