“Nearly three years after the peace deal, threats and attacks against women continue to plague the South American nation…[a] 2018 report by the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame in the United States, found that the sections of the peace deal focused on gender have been the least implemented.”
