The 1988 Constitution is the country's largest legal instrument to protect women's rights. The Constitution declares that women are equal to men in all aspects of the law, and clearly states in the article 5 of the second part that “according to this Constitution, men and women have rights and obligations equals".
The law stipulates that women have 120 days of paid maternity leave and men 7 days of paid maternity leave.
