Convenio sobre la discriminación (empleo y ocupación), 1958 (núm. 111) - República de Moldova (Ratificación : 1996)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report contains no information in response to a number of its previous comments. In this regard, it recalls that Governments have undertaken the obligation to provide information on the application of ratified ILO Conventions in law and in practice. It is on the grounds of that information, that the Committee fulfils its duties of assessment of the effective implementation of the ratified Conventions. The Committee encourages, therefore, the Government to submit a more exhaustive next report which includes all the matters raised below.

Article 5 of the Convention. Special measures of protection and assistance. Restrictions on the employment of women. The Committee asks the Government to provide information on the implementation in practice of section 248 of the Labour Code, as revised in 2020, in particular regarding the: (i) criteria for determining which activities present risks to pregnant women and women who have recently given birth and women who breastfeed; and (ii) measures taken to ensure that such criteria are compatible with the principle of equality between women and men.

The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
