Studying the Right to Employment of Women in International Law

Women's rights, including their occupational rights, are important issues that have gained increasing importance along with the industrialization of societies and the promotion of human rights issues. Employment is a right that governments and society must guarantee to everyone, including women who are able to do it, and every human being has the freedom to choose decent work; in a way that meets both their own interests and the interests of society. In international human rights documents as well as the conventions of the International Labor Organization, the right to employment, its conditions and limitations have been examined. This research examines women's employment in international law. The method used in this research is descriptive-analytical and a documentary approach has been used to collect information. As a result, women enjoy the right to equality in employment and rights in international documents. Based on the Law on Combating Gender Discrimination and the Convention on International Trade Law, women enjoy equal rights with men in employment in all occupational categories. International law has seriously addressed the issue of gender discrimination in employment for women since the 1980s, and based on the Human Rights Charter, attempts have been made to establish equal rights to employment and equal labor rights between women and men.
