The Constitutional Court of Colombia has issued rulings aimed at curbing various forms of discrimination. In August 2026, the Court ruled that denying public transport access to overweight passengers constitutes discrimination. Following a legal challenge in Armenia, Quindío, the Court ordered transport operators to implement dignity-focused protocols, allow rear-door boarding, and ensure normal fare payment for such individuals. In September 2026, the Court signaled further legal shifts by moving to prohibit workplace discrimination. The Court announced intentions to remove provisions from Law 2466 of 2025 that previously allowed employers to discriminate against women and individuals with diverse gender identities based on personal aspects. The Court stated its goal is to ensure no individual is discriminated against based on identity, ‘neither inside nor outside of work.’ Recent developments confirm the Court’s stance against discriminatory clauses in labor laws that permitted employers to justify bias based on personal life factors.
