Election Observation in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP)
Women Action for Better Workplaces (WAction) Project, implemented by the Trust for Democratic Education and Accountability – Free and Fair Elections Network (TDEA-FAFEN) and funded by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Pakistan is focused on enhancing the capacities of women workers and their organizations to negotiate and advocate with employers, policymakers, and legislators for improved working conditions for women.
One of the objectives of this project was to generate recommendations for reforms in labour laws based on a gender audit of the existing labour legislation and policy framework. To undertake this task, a framework for conducting the gender audit of labour laws was developed. Statutes were selected and an exercise was carried out to identify, analyse and propose recommendations on how to eradicate discrimination against women. In addition, WAction project also examined the quality of labour statutes that were enacted by the federal and provincial legislatures between June 2013 and April 2018.
