The Committee notes with interest the information supplied in the Government's report.

In particular, it notes the numerous projects implemented within the framework of the National Action Programme for the Integration of Women in Development and the activities of the National Commission for Women during the period 1990-91: the wide scale education campaign conducted through the media of television and radio on topics such as family planning, women's equal participation and their integration in development; the training courses for women in technical, administrative and clerical skills as well as the professional training courses in areas such as psychology, nursing and pediatrics; the establishment of nurseries and communal women's committees; women's participation in national and international congresses during the period 1989-91 on various topics concerning women, including health issues and training and employment in the teaching and health and medical fields; and the projects including skills training courses for women, implemented by the National System for Integral Development of Families (DIF).

The Committee also notes the positive measures towards the implementation of the principle of non-discrimination taken through the implementation of the National Action Programme for the Integration of Women in Development for the period 1989-94, the National Training and Productivity Programme for the period 1990-94 whose objective is to promote, develop and improve workers' skills and productivity to achieve a better quality of life for workers, particularly women workers, as well as the National Accord to Raise Productivity and Quality endorsed by workers, including those in the rural sector, employers and the federal Government aimed at improving working conditions and quality of life for women workers. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would continue supplying information on measures of this kind taken or contemplated under the above-mentioned national programmes, including statistical data on the results achieved, so as to promote equality of opportunity and treatment between men and women in employment and occupation, particularly in relation to equal access to education and vocational training, to employment and to certain occupations, and terms and conditions of employment.
