About this statute

This provision is the law’s preamble: it identifies Law 1857 of 2017 and states that Congress is issuing it to modify Law 1361 of 2009. This provision says the law’s purpose is to strengthen and guarantee the integral development of the family, and it places a duty on the State to provide families with tools and support. State actions for vulnerable people must include family support and access routes to social programs, and family-protection entities must create multidisciplinary teams and intervention plans. Women are exempt from participating in family intervention plans in specified violence cases. Los empleadores pueden ajustar horarios y, además, deben facilitar una jornada semestral para que los empleados compartan con su familia; si no pueden gestionarla, deben permitir ese tiempo sin afectar los días de descanso. Declares May 15 as National Family Day and requires telecom operators and the National Television Authority to support family-focused, responsible digital-use messaging and campaigns.
