The Committee notes the information sent by the Government in its report.

1. The Committee notes the promulgation of Ministerial Agreement No. 213-2000 of 7 July 2000, providing for the establishment of the occupational training programme of the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare. The Committee requests the Government to provide a copy of the plan and to report on the measures being taken to promote access to vocational training for women and indigenous peoples.

2. The Committee observes that the Government was intending to promote legislation classifying sexual harassment as an offence, punishable as an aggravated offence when committed against indigenous women. The Committee asks the Government to indicate whether such provisions have been adopted and, if so, to send a copy of the text together with information on its practical application.

3. The Committee also asks the Government to send detailed information on the status and working conditions of women employed in the export processing zones, such as statistics and summaries of labour inspection reports, in order that application of the provisions of the Convention may be assured.
