Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2023, published 112nd ILC session (2024)

Night Work (Women) Convention (Revised), 1948 (No. 89) - Rwanda (Ratification: 1962)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.

Repetition

Article 3 of the Convention. Prohibition of night work of women. Further to its previous comments, the Committee recalls that the prohibition of night work of women in Rwanda was lifted in 2001. Recalling that the Convention will be open to denunciation between 27 February 2021 and 27 February 2022, the Committee encourages the Government to consider its denunciation. It also draws the Government’s attention to the Night Work Convention, 1990 (No. 171), which is not devised as a gender-specific instrument, but focuses on the protection of all those working at night.
