Análisis de la inaplicabilidad del Derecho a la Estabilidad laboral absoluta, de las mujeres embarazadas que son despedidas ilegalmente

Abstract

Every woman in a state of pregnancy and maternity has the right to work, to protection against unemployment, and to the right to safeguard her life and that of her child, which is embodied within the International Conventions and Treaties, as well as in the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador and the Labor Code. Despite this, at the same time, the working woman is dismissed from her duties since she becomes an economic loss for the company, often leaving herrights vulnerable. For this reason, the purpose of this research is to perform an analysis of the inapplicability of the right to absolute employment stability for women in a state of pregnancy and maternity based on the principle of inalienability to work, which is embedded in the Organic Law for Labor Justice and Recognition of Work at Home. We observe that in Ecuador there is no absolute employment stability.
