Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Maternity Protection Convention (Revised), 1952 (No. 103) - Equatorial Guinea (Ratification: 1985)

The Committee notes with satisfaction the adoption of General Labour Act No. 2 of 4 January 1990 which provides, in its section 52, paragraphs 2 and 3, and in section 79, paragraph 3, for a maternity leave of 12 weeks, which can be extended in case of illness arising out of pregnancy or confinement, for remunerated nursing breaks and for the prohibition to give a woman notice of dismissal during her absence on maternity leave in conformity with Article 3, paragraphs 2, 3, 5 and 6, Article 5, paragraph 2, and Article 6 of the Convention.

The Committee, however, wishes to draw the Government's attention to certain points that it is raising in a direct request.
