Equality of rights between women and men is one of the key guarantees enshrined in the Constitution of Ukraine. Violation of the right to equality on the basis of gender is discrimination, for which Ukrainian law provides liability.
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has approved the Procedure for Responding to Cases of Discrimination on the Basis of Gender. The document defines a clear mechanism for considering appeals, interaction between responsible bodies, and reporting on the results of their consideration.
The new procedure establishes:
- general approaches to considering complaints of gender discrimination;
- the procedure for submitting such complaints and the requirements for their preparation;
- the mechanism for informing applicants about the progress and results of the consideration;
- the form of annual reporting to the National Social Service of Ukraine.
