State Council urges lifting women’s work ban
The Committee of Commissioners of the State Council recommended canceling the decision by the Ministry of Labor that bans women from working abroad in restaurants, cafes, and domestic work inside homes, including household labor. The recommendation considers this ban to violate the principle of gender equality and to encourage constitutional discrimination. The report was based on Articles 11 and 53 of the Constitution, in addition to labor laws, emphasizing that the ban constitutes irrelevant discrimination and is a violation of women's rights to work. It aims to enable women to access legitimate employment opportunities in line with CEDAW’s provisions. The court will review the case in a session on October 17, with a call for the annulment of this decision and any related consequences.
