Para 103) San Marino continues to defend the institution of the family. In recent years, as already extensively discussed above, numerous measures have been implemented to protect the weakest and most vulnerable groups. Some important interventions have been made to support persons with disabilities, with particular reference to measures supporting families taking care of them.
Para 104) Decree Law no. 117 of 4 September 2018 "Measures to support parenting and family care" also extended parental leave in cases where, in the first 14 years of life, the child, although not disabled, develops a very serious disease, even temporary, such as to make the permanent assistance of a parent necessary.
Para 105) Decree Law no. 47 of 21 March 2019 "Integration and extension of interventions in support of families" provides for special measures of solidarity with the family, such as the right to be absent from work, either alternately or jointly, some forms of flexible and accessible leave from work, and the possibility for colleagues of people who care for the disabled to donate their holidays.
Para 106) Many financial aid measures are available to families facing a situation of poverty, although temporary. The measures are aimed at supporting households facing particular economic difficulties, taking into account the needs and number of members of the household, paying special attention to single-income families with minor dependent children, disabled, elderly or in situations of social malaise.

Combating AIDS (PNLS) since 2007, an activity carried out with the support of WFP in the
form of food and the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, which
finances the distribution of infant formulas. Difficulties arise because of the refusal of the
male partners of these women to allow diagnosis and support for them. The heavy stigma
attached has led many women to reject taking advantage of nutritional support and
monitoring of their babies at home, depriving them of the advantages of nursing with infant
formula. [Para 101]" -
