Type:Review DocumentationSession:10th session, February 2011Status:Reference AddressedContents:"CEDAW in 2007 and the ILO Committee of Experts in 2010 expressed concern
that some of Niger’s labour laws contained certain protective measures excluding women
from employment to protect their health and safety but may create obstacles to women’s
participation in the labour market and perpetuate gender role stereotypes. The ILO
Committee requested Niger to amend these laws, and also to abolish any provision which
discriminated against women in the public service, while CEDAW urged Niger to ensure
equal opportunities for, and equal treatment of, women and men in the labour market, and in
particular to strengthen its labour inspectorate. [Para 31]" -
