273. In addition, members wished to know whether any measures had been taken to combat the tradition according to which abortion of female foetuses was promoted in order to encourage families to have male children; how successful the amendment to the Equal Remuneration Act had been; and whether there was any remedy available for violations of the provisions of that Act.
