Articles 2 and 3 of the Convention. General prohibition against women’s night work in industrial undertakings. Further to its previous comment, the Committee welcomes the Government indication in its report that section 125 of the Labour Code was amended by Act No. 16/010 of 15 July 2016 amending and supplementing Act No. 015-2002 of 16 October 2002 establishing the Labour Code, to the effect that women are no longer prohibited from working at night in public or private industrial establishments. The Government also indicates that the decree establishing women’s working conditions and defining, inter alia, the nature of the work that they are prohibited from performing under section 128 of the Labour Code has not yet been adopted by the National Labour Council, but that it will be supplied once it has been signed. Recalling that pregnant and breastfeeding women may be particularly vulnerable to night work (see the 2018 General Survey concerning working-time instruments, para. 545), the Committee requests the Government to supply information on the measures taken or envisaged, including any decree adopted under section 128 of the Labour Code, to protect women who work at night, particularly in relation to maternity. Recalling that the Convention will be open for denunciation between 27 February 2031 and 27 February 2032, the Committee encourages the Government to consider its denunciation at that time.
