To tackle this challenge is important to have desegregated statistics that include categories such as gender, race, age and geographical location.  This can help to understand that people's lives are affected by specific characteristics that need to be addressed in a particular way.

Although this approach is the most beneficial when developing public policies, there are still some challenges. One of the most relevant is the difficulty of quantifying gender inequality in rural areas, which becomes a barrier to making accurate diagnoses of the success or failure of local, regional and national programs and policies (Deere y León, 1997; 2000; 2003, y Meertens, 2006).

The actions developed under this framework sought long-term transformations of public policies (Hafner-Burton & Pollack, 2002). In Colombia, women organizations and feminist groups have played an important role to demand the participation of women in such transformation.

Although positive actions have not been entirely effective, they have served as a transition to adopt measures closer to the gender mainstreaming approach.

Although these actions are intended to improve the lives of rural women, in these actions women have been taken by the Colombian State as a homogeneous group without considering substantial differences such as race, class or age. This lack of intersectional analysis has led to the construction of policies based on stereotypes about family farming, where women are considered as assistants (Ospina Robledo, 1998; León & Deere, 1997)

Such norms have not sought equal recognition of rural women with rural men, but have been bridges for the creation of specific norms that favor women and allow them preferential access to certain resources (land, productive projects, credits, etc).

In Colombia, most of the actions to improve the lives of rural women have been carried out through positive actions.
