The Committee notes the information contained in the Government's last report in reply to its previous direct request.

1. The Committee notes that training centres and trade union organisations coordinate their activities, that the General Federation of Iraqi Women organises training courses with a view to integrating women into the labour market and that, according to the Government, there is no discrimination as regards access to such training. The Committee asks the Government to provide information on these training courses in its next report, indicating in particular the type of training provided, the number of students and the distribution of men and women. Please indicate also the concrete results of the efforts to promote the employment of women.

2. The Committee again asks the Government to provide statistics of the number of women holding high-level posts in the public sector and their percentage in relation to that of men.

3. With regard to Resolution No. 480 of 25 July 1989 concerning the employment of women graduates in the administration of the State and the socialist and mixed sectors, the Committee notes that this Resolution aims in practice to enable women graduates to be appointed to nursing posts while attending one-year compulsory training courses. The Committee again asks the Government to specify the jobs prohibited to women under section 1 of the Resolution which specifically concerns women and the wage conditions and classification applying to them (section 2).
