It had also enacted the Ratification of International Agreements Act No. 34 of 2016, which provided for the ratification and domestication of international agreements. 12. Zambia had put in place appropriate legal, administrative and policy measures for the advancement of women, such as the inclusion of progressive clauses in the Constitution and the enactment of enabling legislation that had domesticated the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and relevant regional instruments. In addition, the National Gender Policy had been adopted and gender focal points had been introduced in all ministries, provinces and spending agencies. 13.

In addition, the legislative framework on the protection of workers’ and employers’ rights had been strengthened through the amendment of the Employment Act and the Minimum Wages and Conditions of Employment Act. 21. HIV/AIDS was being combated through efforts that included revising the National HIV and AIDS Strategic Framework 2014–2016, launching a campaign for routine HIV testing, and introducing counselling and treatment in all public health institutions in response to the Government’s aim to eliminate HIV/AIDS from Zambia by 2030.
