    The research reveals whether discrimination exists, how it is perceived and embodied by women's racialized bodies, and how the university's ethical code acts to repel such unequal actions. The population sample is made up of a group of Afro-Ecuadorian women who work within the University of Cuenca, and who are subcontracted through the ASOAFRO Organization, to carry out cleaning tasks on the campuses of the University. The general objective was to analyze, based on the ethical code of the University of Cuenca, the spaces occupied by women in the collective in their work environment, in order to describe the discriminatory practices and discourses that are reproduced within the workplace; Through their experiences, the mechanisms and discriminatory forms experienced by women in this group are exposed. The methodology is qualitative with exploratory and ethnographic depth, the survey and semi-structured interview were used as tools.
