Abstract

This article relies on the current situation that the legal provisions related to the protection of the rights of female employees of multinational corporations are not perfect and not tough and uses the legal norm analysis method to explain the existing problems and give possible solutions. Firstly, it discusses the current situation and predicament of the existing women's employment equality protection in multinational corporations, as well as the lack of content and substantive binding of existing international conventions. It also discusses the reasons for the dilemma of rights protection, such as the differentiation of traditional thinking and social structure roles, the level of rule of law in developing countries and the status of multinational corporations. It gives ways to improve legislation and related systems and improve the supervision mechanism of social and non-governmental organizations.
