Maternity Protection Convention, 1919 (No. 3) - Colombia (Ratification: 1933)

With reference to its previous comments on the extension of the territorial coverage of the social security scheme, the Committee notes with interest that a Bill to make substantial amendments to the present social security scheme will be submitted to the Congress of the Republic at its present session. It hopes that the Bill will be adopted shortly and that it will enable the social security scheme to be extended throughout the national territory and to all women workers covered by the Convention, particularly in respect of maternity protection. The Government is asked to indicate any progress made in this respect.
