Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention, 1958 (No. 111) - Argentina (Ratification: 1968)

The Committee notes with interest the new Constitution of Argentina, and particularly Chapter II, article 37, which guarantees real equality of opportunity for men and women in respect of access to elected and political office, and Chapter IV, article 75(23), which refers to the adoption of legislation and the promotion of positive measures to guarantee real equality of treatment for women. With reference to these provisions, and taking into account the special measures mentioned by the Government in this regard in United Nations document CEDAW/C/ARG/2 dated 21 September 1992, the Committee requests the Government to supply information on the measures which have been taken or are envisaged for the effective promotion of the principles set out in the Convention without distinction on the basis of sex in respect of: (a) access to vocational training; (b) access to employment and particular occupations; and (c) terms and conditions of employment.
