Abstract

This paper aims to establish a more realistic understanding of principles and application of norms regarding to non-discrimination and specifically the discrimination of women in the framework of the right to work. This research paper handles synthetically issues of non-discrimination both internationally and nationally. It aims to provide a minimal contribution to the implementation of non-discrimination in Albania, considering that the discriminating nature of the Albanian society continues to be the determinant of discriminatory policies. Despite the positive steps that Albania has made in creating a legal framework, there are still missing or incomplete acts in the implementation of the laws in practice.

Key Terms: Human Rights, Labor Law, Gender, Women, Non-Discrimination
