This article proposes an approach to the implementation of the actions of the Beijing Platform for Action, specifically in relation to objectives 7 and 8, that is, the institutional mechanisms for the advancement of women and their political participation in Colombia. For this purpose, an analysis was carried out based on several elements: the background of the gender institutional framework in Colombia, the implementation, objectives and functions of the institutional gender mechanism in the country, the political participation of women under the impulse of the institutional framework, the application of the methodology of the Gender Inequality Index of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in the regions of Colombia and the institutional progress of gender in the regions with the least inequality. Given the above, it was possible to determine that the low political participation of women is related to the low gender institutional framework in the country.

Keywords : gender; political participation; gender institutional mechanisms; Gender Inequality Index.
