La pugna por un derecho del cuidado.: Una reflexión estratégica sobre derechos sociales a partir de casos

The article examines how the right to care can be made effective in the Spanish context. It analyzes the possibilities of implementing and ensuring its effectiveness. The article outlines the ethical and political foundations of this right and discusses its relevance from the perspective of social rights. However, it acknowledges significant challenges in implementing this right due to the lack of political consensus on the definition of care and its social organization. This hinders the establishment of legislation and the deductive analysis of its content and effectiveness. Instead, the article suggests delimiting and studying this right through the analysis of cases where judicial protection is sought in professional care sectors, such as home assistance  help, cleaning, or chambermaids. This is an initial step towards assessing the effectiveness of these rights for the various parties involved.
