Convention (n° 111) concernant la discrimination (emploi et profession), 1958 - Ukraine (Ratification: 1961)

1. Article 1 of the Convention. Sexual harassment. Noting that the Government has not yet provided information in reply to the 2002 general observation on sexual harassment, the Committee requests the Government to provide this information in its next report.

2. Articles 2 and 3. Discrimination on the basis of sex. Further to its observation, the Committee requests the Government to provide statistical information on the following: (1) the participation of men and women in vocational training, retraining and skills development; (2) the distribution of men and women in the various sectors and occupations; (3) employment and unemployment rates disaggregated by sex and region; and (4) the participation of men and women in employment involving managerial or decision-making responsibilities (private and public sector).

3. The Committee notes with interest that a gender analysis of collective agreements was undertaken within the ILO/USDOL technical cooperation project: "Ukraine: Promoting fundamental principles and rights at work", followed by a tripartite seminar to discuss the results. The Government is requested to provide information on the measures taken to follow-up on the findings of this analysis.

4. Discrimination on the basis of race, colour and national extraction. The Committee notes that the Government’s report does not contain any information in reply to the Committee’s previous comments regarding the protection of ethnic minorities from discrimination in employment and occupation, in particular the Crimean Tartars and the Roma. The Committee trusts that the Government will provide the information requested in points 2 and 3 of the Committee’s 2003 direct request in its next report.
