On the eve of International Women's Day, Colombia highlights advances in female leadership and the care economy, which accounts for nearly 20% of GDP and is mostly shouldered by women. While laws like 1413 of 2010 have made unpaid work visible, challenges remain such as the wage gap and unequal domestic burden. The country ranks fourth globally in women in high-level positions, at 43.4%.
