Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1996, Publicación: 85ª reunión CIT (1997)

Convenio sobre la discriminación (empleo y ocupación), 1958 (núm. 111) - Afganistán (Ratificación : 1969)

While a report has not been requested for the present session, the Committee has become aware that the authorities which have recently assumed control in the country have taken measures to ban the basic and further education of girls and to prohibit women from working. The Committee views these events with grave concern. It urges the Government to provide detailed information on these measures, which violate the basic human right of non-discrimination in employment and occupation embodied in this Convention.
