Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2000, published 89th ILC session (2001)

Night Work (Women) Convention (Revised), 1948 (No. 89) - Rwanda (Ratification: 1962)

The Committee notes the information provided in the Government’s reports.

The Committee takes note of the Government’s statement that the Decree to prescribe the maximum hours of work and to provide for rest on Sundays and public holidays, dated 14 March 1957, is outdated and that there is need for new regulation of night work in accordance with current practice which favours the lifting of the prohibition of night work for women.

The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of any decisions taken in this regard.

The Committee takes this opportunity to invite the Government to give favourable consideration to the ratification of either the Night Work Convention, 1990 (No. 171) or the Protocol of 1990 to Convention No. 89.
