Article 3 of the Convention. Prohibition of night work of women. The Committee notes that section 136.1(1) of the Labour Code prohibits the night work of women in principle in factories, manufacturing, mines and quarries, construction sites, workshops and their outbuildings of any kind. Noting that the Labour Code provides for exceptions and possible exemptions from this principle (sections 136.1(2) and 136.2), the Committee recalls that protective measures applicable to women’s employment at night which go beyond maternity protection and are based on stereotyped perceptions regarding women’s professional abilities and role in society, violate the principle of equality of opportunity and treatment between men and women in occupation and employment (see 2018 General Survey on working-time instruments, paragraph 545). The Committee therefore invites the Government to examine sections 136.1 and 136.2 of the Labour Code in the light of this principle and in consultation with the social partners. Recalling that the Convention will be open for 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.
