Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1993, publiée 80ème session CIT (1993)

The Committee notes that the Government's report contains no reply to its comments. It hopes that the next report will include full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

As regards access to training and employment, the Committee notes with interest on the one hand that, according to the Government's report, the police and military health sectors, in which jobs were traditionally considered to be reserved for men, have just been opened up to women (30 of whom are now in office and 29 undergoing training in the police, while two women have become military doctors). The Committee notes on the other hand the tables for the distribution of staff who are in office or undergoing training in the various ministries and public bodies and the distribution of employees of both sexes by occupational category and sector, which were supplied by the Government. The Committee requests the Government to continue supplying information on this subject and particularly on the measures that have been taken to promote the training and access to employment of women, in view of the wide gap that still exists between the sexes in these fields.
