Protecting maternity at work has been one of the primary concerns of the I nternational L abour O rganization since its foundation in 1919. Along with fundamental human rights treaties, the adoption of the M aternity P rotection C onvention, 2000 (No. 183) and, more recently, the ILO R ecommendation concerning N ational F loors of S ocial P rotection, 2012 (No. 202), have marked the universalization of the right to maternity protection and call for its extension to all women in line with the principle of equal opportunity and treatment between women and men. In the framework of these historical developments, this article presents evidence of how national legislative provisions on paid maternity leave have improved in the light of the principles of international labour standards, although a large majority of women workers are still not adequately protected in case of maternity. The article then addresses patterns of exclusion from maternity protection in law and practice, and concludes by discussing some social protection programmes that have the potential to extend maternity protection coverage and support to meet the care needs of the most vulnerable and which do so with a gender transformative focus
