The subject of special protection for same-sex couples has appeared on the public agenda in Colombia, and has led to important developments in jurisprudence. The Constitutional Court has on various occasions upheld the right of same-sex couples to equality. It has recognized that a de facto marital union (and the ensuing property rights), access to the mandatory health scheme and access to a survivor's pension must be safeguarded for same-sex couples on the same terms as for heterosexual couples. Colombia now faces the challenge of continuing to advance in this area.
