Some of the jobs, according to the report, are seen as too physically tough for women. Hence, in Guinea, women are not allowed to use certain tools in the course of work.
Essentially, they are barred from working with certain types of hammers. This can be equated with the recent update of Ivorian laws which stops women from doing “work that exceeds the ability and physical capacity of women, or work that presents dangers which are likely to undermine their morality, for example, working underground or in the mines”.
