Preferencias académicas de los estudiantes de la Carrera de Derecho y su vinculación con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) a través del estudio de sentencias

Abstract

Abstract: The present paper analyzes Judgment No. 2286-17-EP/23 issued by the Constitutional Court of Ecuador and its relation to Sustainable Development Goal No. 8, which allowed us to study a concrete case in the field of labor and constitutional law, as it involves an extraordinary protection action. Sustainable Development Goal No. 8, which seeks to promote decent work and economic growth, is related to the judgment in question as it concerns the dismissal of a woman during her lactation period, who was under an occasional service contract with the Ministry of Education. This action violated her right to work and the reinforced labor protection for pregnant or lactating women. The methodology used for the study was qualitative, as information was gathered through a questionnaire about the factors that influenced the student to pursue a career in law. In line with these ideas, this case concludes that the protection of the rights of women during the lactation period can help achieve the targets of Sustainable Development Goal No. 8.
