3. China proposes law to protect women employees’ rights
The Chinese government has proposed a ban on employers placing gender preferences in their job ads, and also asking women applicants about their marital and pregnancy status.
This decision would overhaul a three-decade women’s rights law in the country. The draft amendment to the Women’s Rights and Interests Protection Law is currently being reviewed by the Country’s top legislative, in a five-day meeting. In all likelihood, the legislation will be introduced next year.The revised draft will be more detailed and offer a more clear and precise idea of the legalities involved in issues such as sexual harassment at the workplace. The new law will make it compulsory for employers to set up proper response and preventive mechanisms to handle complaints at the workplace. Further, the law prevents rejection of candidature of girl students or compromising on the requirements and eligibility of boy students just to fulfil the gender quota. Women will, henceforth, in all likelihood, enjoy equal pay and land benefits. Failing to ensure this may attract strict action.
