Further to its previous direct requests, the Committee notes with satisfaction the entry into force, on 1 April 1988, of a new Employment (Equal Opportunities) Law, which extends the protection against discrimination based on sex, by prohibiting discrimination in respect of acceptance for employment, terms of employment, advancement in employment, vocational training or supplementary vocational training and dismissal or severance pay. Under section 7 of the Act, an employer shall not prejudice an employee by reason of the employee's rejection of a proposal, or resistance to an act, of a sexual nature made or done by the employer or by a person directly or indirectly in charge of the employee.
