Night Work (Women) Convention (Revised), 1948 (No. 89) - Malawi (Ratification: 1965)

Previous comment

Article 3 of the Convention. Prohibition of night work of women. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that it did not denounce the Convention within the scheduled period, despite receiving approval to do so from the Tripartite Labour Advisory Council (TLAC) in 2009. Recalling that the Convention will again be open for denunciation between 27 February 2031 and 27 February 2032, the Committee 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 (2018 General Survey on Working Time, paragraph 408).
