Jerónimo Uribe, son of former Colombian President Álvaro Uribe, has publicly supported the recent decision by María Carolina Restrepo, director of the Instituto Colombiano de Bienestar Familiar (ICBF), to replace the phrase "niños y niñas" with the gender-neutral term "niñez" in official communications. Uribe expressed confusion regarding the public backlash that followed the announcement.
The policy change has sparked a broader debate regarding linguistic inclusivity within Colombian government institutions. While the director’s move aims to adopt more inclusive terminology, it has faced significant scrutiny and criticism from various sectors of the public, prompting Uribe to defend the administrative shift.
