Reinforced labor protection of women in a state of pregnancy and breastfeeding: procedural mechanisms

Abstract

This work shows the relevance of the national and supranational regulatory framework of special and reinforced protection in favor of pregnant or breastfeeding women, the procedural mechanisms that enable such a measure, as well as the establishment of certain favorability rules, provided at a jurisprudential level, derived from the so-call “maternal jurisdiction”, in order to guarantee the right to work of those who find themselves in said situation.
