ABSTRACT
The article contextualizes the role of Mexican women in the workplace, recognizing the legal advances and their reality in the labor sphere, emphasizing the context of the general vulnerability of women in a country where access to decent work is quite complex, which complicates their insertion and their permanence in the workplace.
An analysis is presented of the various provisions both in the Mexican Constitution, as well as in the regulatory laws on labor and social security, which according with the principles of protection and respect for human labor rights, recognize prenatal and post-natal license, the right to medical care, support for the means of survival, breastfeeding, day care and non-discrimination for pregnancy or for having children under their care. Provisions that represent a great advance and oblige the Mexican State to generate the necessary public policies to achieve the effectiveness of these rights.
