Abstract
In Ecuador, university mothers have the right to receive education during maternity and breastfeeding periods, supported by the Constitution and international agreements. There are laws such as the Organic Health Law and the Code of Childhood and Adolescence that protect this right. Although there is a favorable legal framework, the Organic Law of Higher Education and its Regulations do not contain specific provisions to guarantee this right, which can lead to its violation. It is necessary to address this situation and ensure the adequate protection of the rights of university mothers. The research was based on a qualitative approach and used analytical and deductive methods, as well as bibliographic and documentary techniques to gather information about the current legislation. It was concluded that the right to breastfeeding is a multi-hold right that involves both mothers and children. It is essential to establish clear provisions in university regulations to guarantee this right and protect university mothers during their maternity and breastfeeding period.
