On 11 December, in the Historic Building of the University of Oviedo, María Luisa Segoviano, Magistrate of the Constitutional Court, gave a conference on ‘Equality and Social Freedoms’ in which she explained and presented, based on the analysis of specific cases, the most important current jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court on issues such as the content and limits of freedom of expression or video-surveillance in work spaces and labour relations. The conference also addressed the issue of non-discrimination on the grounds of birth which, in relation to single-parent families and their childcare leave, is addressed by the very recent STC 140/2024, of 6 November.
