Government officials in Colombia's Petro administration acknowledged pervasive sexism and patriarchal culture within the government during the launch of a women's reparations fund on Tuesday. Minister Alfredo Acosta apologized for President Gustavo Petro's previous remarks calling women journalists 'mafia dolls,' which a Constitutional Court ruling in May had already ordered Petro to retract. Vice Minister Tamara Ospina stated that the left-wing government must recognize it is 'impregnated with machismo' and work to 'depatriarchalize' its processes.
