Discriminación Positiva: Elemento Transversal En La Elaboración De Las Políticas Públicas Nacionales Y Las Leyes Promulgadas Por El Congreso De La República En Colombia

Abstract

This scholarly article identified the main advances made by different entities of the branches of government, in relation to various sectors of society which, due to conditions intrinsic to their being, are in a state of vulnerability, and which therefore require greater protection by the Colombian State. This protection is materialized through laws, decrees and measures that tend to balance the rights and duties of individuals.

The collection of this information was the result of an analysis over time of the most significant achievements made in Colombia with regard to the protection, inclusion and vindication of the rights of the LGBTI population, children and adolescents and women, that is, a study of various laws, decrees and measures issued by the administration in which respect, tolerance, equity and a gender perspective, the duty of special protection for young people, and awareness of sexual diversity have been the cornerstones.

Finally, the foray into these topics arose as a result of the need to determine what progress has been made in the country with regard to the protection of human rights in the last century, thus achieving an understanding of the atmospheres of care in which there should be strengthening, or on the contrary, in which there has never been an eye on the part of the State, and which therefore requires immediate action on the part of the administration, with a view to stopping and preventing a latent violation of the rights of the inhabitants of the national territory.
