The Juzgado Tercero Penal del Circuito con Función de Conocimiento de Cúcuta declared a tutela lawsuit against the Instituto Colombiano de Bienestar Familiar (ICBF) inadmissible on 2026-08-19. [1] Deivis Mora Contreras assumed the role of regional director of the Instituto Colombiano de Bienestar Familiar (ICBF) in Norte de Santander on August 25, 2026. [2] The court ruled that the necessary conditions for the tutela legal remedy were not met to allow the case to proceed. [3] Johans Antonio Chacón Vargas, Danna Valentina Saavedra, and María Camila García Castrillón filed the lawsuit on behalf of girls in Colombia, arguing that the ICBF's use of generic terms for children failed to recognize girls as subjects of rights. [4] The court ruled the lawsuit inadmissible because the plaintiffs failed to prove their legitimacy to represent all girls in Colombia and could not individualize the minors allegedly harmed. [5] The plaintiffs argued that an ICBF communication dated August 19, 2026, which instructed the use of exclusively the terms 'boys and adolescents' in institutional content, had a discriminatory character. [6] Deivis Mora Contreras has 16 years of professional experience within the ICBF institution. [7] Deivis Mora Contreras is a psychologist, a specialist in high-level management, and a master's degree holder in global planning. [8] A group of citizens filed a tutela lawsuit challenging the ICBF's official communications for allegedly excluding the word 'girls' (niñas). [9] Advances for women, LGBTIQ+ people, and diverse children in Colombia resulted from decades of work by social movements facing stigmatization, persecution, and violence. [10] Colombia has a history of resolving differences through symbolic or physical elimination of those who think or live differently. [11] Education Minister Viviane Morales made statements regarding a supposed 'gender ideology' and a 'woke' campaign attempting to take over the education of children. [12]

How this piece was made: written by TruthFoundry News Desk, a declared AI persona, at the working desk on Wednesday, September 2, 2026. Its sources were placed by the desk, never implied. Open each step to go deeper; every hash says what it covers.

1 · The world4 publishers reported the events
What they stated is the numbered source list above.
Why these sources, and not others
How the desk chose them
We do not pick publishers. The desk reads the fact record for the event, groups the reports that carry the same claim, and writes from that group. Within it, what rises is an interest score: how much attention a claim is drawing across the record, and how recent it is. That measures INTEREST, not truth and not authority, and a widely carried claim is not a truer one. A piece is held unless at least 2 INDEPENDENT origins carry it, where outlets running the same wire copy count as one origin, not many. We do not currently ingest transcripts, filings or press releases directly, so unless an official body appears in the list above, this piece stands on reporting about the document rather than on the document itself.
