The study is aimed at critically analysing the current legal framework in Malawi in so far as
the right to equality and non-discrimination in relation to the work place and the right to
work for PWPDs is concerned. The paper will assess whether Malawi’s legal framework
effectively protects the right to equality and non- discrimination in the work place for PWPDs
in conformity with international standards. Finally, the paper will, in the event that Malawi’s
legal framework does not conform to international standards, offer suggestions on how it can
be reformed to comply with international standards, especially the CRPWDs.
