CEDAW/C/SR.32 English Page 3 8. ~ir. NORDENFELT said that the underlying concept expressed in the report, namely, that it was necessary to create the economic, political, social and cultura~ conditions for women's enjoyment of equal rights in public life, work and the family reflected an understanding of the fact that it was practically impossible to achieve equality in working life without equality in private life. He requested clarification of the concept of protection of women and asked what steps the Government took to ensure not only that women enjoyed equality in the workplace but also that men enjoyed equality in the home. Referring to the legislation implementing the Labour Code, which provided that women and minors should not be assigned to work liable to be injurious to them, he pointed out that potentially injurious work should not be assigned to men either.

Ms. REGENT-LECHOWICZ said that the report revealed that progress had been made in eliminating discrimination against women and that Hungarian legislation was in conformity with the Convention. The representative of Hungary had stressed that the economy could not function without women workers but that there was a trend towards the "feminization" of some professions, especially teaching. That phenomenon was not confined to Hungary alone and she wondered what was being done to reverse that trend and to diversify the professional orientation of young women. 13. According to the report, the age of retirement was 55, but she wondered whether a woman could continue to work after reaching that age if she so desired? Had a part-time work system been introduced? What were the present and past roles of Hungarian women in the struggle for peace and disarmament, and what part did Hungarian women's organizations play in international activities? 14.
