Abstract

Through the sentence object to analysis T-043/20, The Constitutional Court confirmed its jurisprudential posture in favor of reinforced labor stability for pregnant women, thus complying with the diverse legal and politically public measures to develop an obligation to guarantee the vital minimum for pregnant and nursing women; this way, the precedence of action protection in this subject evades an irremediable prejudice when the reasons for not continuing a labor relationship do not comply with objective legal causes relevant to internal legislation. In this sense, the purpose of this analysis is to
address the scope of the Court’s ruling with respect to its object of development, and, to demonstrate the importance of this article as a jurisprudential review in the investigative framework of constitutional correctness, the reinforced protection that pregnant women in Colombia must have from any discriminatory act that is due precisely to their pregnancy status, as an illegitimate and illegal  argument to terminate or not renew a labor
contract. ; when the objective grounds for termination are not configured as provided by the Substantive Labor Code.
