THE REPUBLIC OF THE GAMBIA’S COMBINED REPORT ON THE AFRICAN CHARTER ON HUMAN & PEOPLES’ RIGHTS & INITIAL REPORT ON THE PROTOCOL TO THE AFRICAN CHARTER ON THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN IN AFRICA Other legislation enacted for the promotion of this Charter right are the State Lands Act 1991, the Registration of Deeds Act, the Rent Tribunal Act, the District Tribunal Act, the Lands (Regions) Act 1957, and the Land Acquisition and Compensation Act. Consequently, forced eviction is illegal in the country, nearly all evictions must be sanctioned by a court order and on the condition that adequate notice of such eviction is given to the persons to be affected by such an order. Mechanisms for dispute resolution over property are in existence through the court system, Alternative Dispute Resolution Secretariat, District Tribunals and Rent Tribunals. All these measures ensure that no one is arbitrarily deprived of their property. Following the change of Government in 2016, numerous reports have been received against former President Jammeh unlawfully seizing people’s property. Consequently, there are moves to set up a process to review cases of land dispute with a view to formulating a system. ARTICLE 15- RIGHT TO WORK Although the Constitution does not make provision for the right to work under equitable and satisfactory conditions, Section 33 prohibits all forms of discrimination in employment in respect to sex, gender, race or disability. The Labour Act, Social Security and Injuries Compensation Fund Act and Injuries Compensation Act, all ensure that the working conditions are favourable in The Gambia. The law provides for workers who suffer injury during work are entitled to medical care and sufficient compensation. The Industrial Tribunal and the Office of the Ombudsman are the mechanisms in place, not only to ensure that workers work under equitable and satisfactory conditions but also to receive workers` complaints regarding the violation of their rights. The Labour Act makes provisions for the protection of wages, contracts of employment and terms and conditions of employment. With regards to female employees, they are entitled to six months maternity leave with pay at the normal rate. 64
