Resumen
RAMIREZ-BUSTAMANTE, Natalia. “ I’d like to, but I can’t”. Maternity, discrimination and exclusion: The transit from formal to informal work in Colombia’s garment manufacturing sector. CS [online]. 2019, n.spe, pp.241-269. ISSN 2011-0324. https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.iespecial.3239.
The article proposes a critical reading of the design of maternity protection focused on the protection of working mothers and shows evidence of its adverse effect due to the ineffectiveness of the anti-discrimination norms in employment hiring procedures. Secondly, and resorting to field work with workers and employers in the garment manufacturing sector in Colombia, it provides evidence of the anti-maternal and anti-caring practices that characterize some sectors of formal work in the country and that end up excluding women workers who are mothers or who have care responsibilities.
