In this study, the pregnancy discrimination as a kind of work life gender discrimination is investigated. Nowadays, many national and international documents prohibit pregnancy discrimination. Nevertheless, despite the presence of all legal assurance, the pregnancy discrimination does exist in the work places; even getting pregnant can be forbidden. The most striking examples of this discrimination can be found in the countries of Latin America, in the free trade zones – in maquilas, where female labor is used as cheap workforce in international division of labor. The aim of this study is to discuss the discriminating actions based on pregnancy in work places within the examples, in spite of the existence of national and international documents/regulations against discrimination; and to draw attention to the magnitude of supervision on women body. To do so, women fertility, the development of contraception methods, the presence of pregnant women in the work life and the problems regardless of the national and international regulations are examined respectively.
