Last October, members from the Strategic Litigation Working Group and Women and ESCR Working Group submitted a collective third party intervention to the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) concerning a case in which a woman in Ecuador had been denied her retirement pension request due to a small pause in her social security contributions, which had the impact of nullifying years of subsequent contributions. The nullification was triggered by a time when she had been engaged in unpaid care work at home and unable to make regular contributions for eight months.
