حماية الوظيفة الإجتماعية للمرأة العاملة في ظل المعايير الدولية وتشريع الجزائري

Abstract

The modern era has witnessed women entering the workforce, a characteristic feature of contemporary and developed societies. Given their dual role in handling familial and professional responsibilities, this development has brought numerous positives. Notably, international and regional human rights organizations have issued general and specialized conventions related to women, and numerous conferences have been held to devise international strategies aimed at enhancing comprehensive and effective protection for women. These organizations have also adopted conventions that address workers' rights in general, as well as specific principles regarding the rights of working women. Various regulations have been put in place to protect female workers. In reviewing Algerian legislation, it is evident that extensive protections have been afforded to working women, as Algeria is a member of these organizations and adheres to the international commitments ratified by it. The Algerian Constitution includes provisions from these conventions, reflecting the belief that women, as citizens, wives, and working mothers, are central to societal cohesion and progress. This belief has led Algeria to become the first Arab country to prioritize women's issues in its governmental agenda. Incorporating these principles into labor system reforms, Algeria has taken into account women's working conditions, including wages, working hours, annual leave, and rest periods. It has prohibited women from engaging in hazardous or harmful jobs, granted them the right to child custody, provided care during pregnancy, and protected them during maternity and night work. These efforts signify a commitment to improving working conditions for women, enhancing their protection, and balancing their professional and family responsibilities
