Employment law
Equality in the workplace
22 June 2026
Where working conditions, professional qualifications and performance are equal, all workers are entitled to equal pay, regardless of their origin, gender, age or status.
Discrimination in pay is prohibited. However, in Mali, certain provisions enshrine this discrimination in employment: for example, it is prohibited to employ women in industries and factories at night.
Punishing sexual harassment
A worker found guilty of sexually harassing a female colleague will be subject to a request for dismissal submitted to the Labour Inspectorate. They may also face criminal prosecution.
