Companies consider that pregnant women because of their situation, contribute less to production and profitability, causing an imbalance in the economic field, so they opt for the decision to fire them from their work. On the other hand, pregnant women have a utility of having several advantages due to their condition, the same ones that have been established to guarantee a comfortable security when enforcing their rights such as maternity. The first advantage is that the employer can not terminate his contract unilaterally, in some cases that his rights have been violated, they do not usually go to take the action for fear of causing a more serious problem for fear of dismissal, in fact this Right is very manipulated and in many occasions they do not decide to make the complaint, often due to legal ignorance. Therefore, the intervention of professionals trained in the subject, are one of the necessary elements for the approach of solutions together so that women are the protagonists in facing their realities and enforce their rights.
