Will the law protect women ? 2

Yes:

 

The new law is a breakthrough which will limit employment discrimination against women. It will stop employers rejecting women on the basis of their gender.

 

1. If employers say a job is "unfit for women" in a field where the employment of females is not  forbidden by law, applicants will be able to use the new law to file lawsuits and protect their rights.

 

2. The law represents the central government's policy cf making sure women are treated fairly in the job market. Government agencies and state-owned enterprises, which are big employers, will need to learn about the law and act accordingly.

 

3. The law is an example of detailed legislation designed to protect woment's rights. General statements of equality in the constitution are often ignored in practice; but a specific law like this acturally binds employers.
