Paragraph text
Article 7 identifies a non-exhaustive list of fundamental elements to guarantee just and favourable conditions of work. The reference to the term "in particular" indicates that other elements, not explicitly referred to, are also relevant. In this context, the Committee has systematically underlined factors such as the following: prohibition of forced labour and social and economic exploitation of children and young persons; freedom from violence and harassment, including sexual harassment; and paid maternity, paternity and parental leave.
