On April 14, 2008,the Colombian Constitutional Court produced a decision that seems amazing given the local context: Auto [Statement] 092/2008 (Statement) for the protection of internally displaced women (IDW). After 248 pages, the Constitutional Court declared that the disproportional effect of forced displacement on women's lives was a fact, meaning that the overwhelming majority of victims of displacement are statistically female. The court established two "constitutional presumptions" to make the procedural evaluation of the effects of this kind of crime easier. The court also ordered the government to create thirteen special programs to assist IDW as well as to undertake specific measures of protection that are considered, through this same statement, a response to 600 complaints.
