In total, the ENS has registered 130 violations committed against trade unionists, with 120 against men and ten against women. Almost nine out of ten cases (88.46 per cent) were targeted at trade unionists in positions of leadership or senior responsibility.
At least 18 trade unionists have been murdered in Colombia this year, while many others have suffered threats, attacks, harassment, arbitrary detention and forced displacement. At least two were also forcibly disappeared.
