Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 2000, Publicación: 89ª reunión CIT (2001)

Convenio sobre el desarrollo de los recursos humanos, 1975 (núm. 142) - Afganistán (Ratificación : 1979)

The Committee again notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

The Committee refers to its observation on the application of the Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention, 1958 (No. 111), in which it notes the allegations that access to all levels of general, technical and vocational education is prohibited for women. The Committee recalls the Government’s obligation under the Convention to develop policies and programmes to encourage and enable all persons, on an equal basis and without any discrimination whatsoever, to develop and use their capabilities for work. It hopes to find in the Government’s next report full information on women’s access to education and training and measures taken in this respect.

The Committee again expresses the hope that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
