Colombia. The ICT Ministry awarded 23 productions that showed the best of their content in 'Regions Without Limits 2024'. The call summoned regional public television channels.
The proposals had to be aimed at the development of audiovisual content that makes visible the stories of people from the LGBTIQ+ social sectors and/or people with diverse gender identities, sexual orientations and corporeality.
"The Government is proud to lay the foundations for Colombia to become a leader in the protection of life, with an inclusive society, free of stereotypes and stigmas. With this call we want to strengthen national public television through the production of high-quality content that celebrates our diversity, to promote social inclusion, the protection of human rights and cultural change in Colombia," said ICT Minister Mauricio Lizcano.
