The Provincial Court of Pichincha in Ecuador has ruled that the Ecuadorian Social Security Institute (IESS) must recognize a 14-week maternity leave standard, surpassing the 12 weeks stipulated in the current Labor Code. This landmark decision aligns maternity protection with international standards set by the International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention 183. The ruling came after a legal challenge arguing that the existing 12-week period is insufficient for reproductive health and enhanced care for pregnant individuals. While not automatically amending the Labor Code, the court's decision obligates the IESS to adapt its protocols within 60 days. Affiliated women can now claim the extended leave and associated benefits. This legal precedent significantly strengthens maternal rights in Ecuador.
