Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1993, Publicación: 80ª reunión CIT (1993)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

1. The Committee took note in its earlier comments of section 1 of the Basic Operational Regulations of the Ministry of Social Welfare (Agreement No. 609 of 9 July 1984) which provides that the activities of the Ministry are to be based on principles designed to encourage the promotion of women, the indigenous population and ethnic minorities. It again requests the Government to report on the activites undertaken by the Ministry to promote the principle of equal opportunity and treatment in respect of the above groups.

2. The Committee again requests the Government to report on the state of progress of the draft Act on the Legal Equality of the Sexes, referred to in paragraph 103 of the report presented by the Government of Ecuador to the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW/C/5/Add. 23 of 29 August 1984).
