Convention (n° 111) concernant la discrimination (emploi et profession), 1958 - Brésil (Ratification: 1965)

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes with satisfaction that Act No. 7855 of 24 October 1989, to amend the Consolidation of Labour Laws, has repealed section 446 thereof, which entitled the husband to demand the cancellation of the contract of employment of his wife if its continuance would constitute a menace to the family tie.

The Committee is also addressing a request directly to the Government concerning other aspects of the application of this Convention.
