Аннотация

Russia's social and political system goes through changes and transitions, which affect many aspects of social life, the status of women in society included. A considerable part of Russian society still perceives the topic of gender equality as peripheral and irrelevant to the lives of ordinary people. Organisations defending the rights of victims of sex discrimination have not traditionally enjoyed wide support in Russia. Women are more affected by the need to balance paid work and family than men are since they are still the ones who, for the most part, are expected to take care of children, sick family members and ageing relatives. It is women, especially working mothers, who are subjected to labour rights violations and discrimination in the workplace or find themselves in circumstances where they cannot exercise their social and labour rights. The issues that women face may be hypothetically grouped into the following categories: discriminatory practices and a lack of effective protection mechanisms at an intra-state level; difficulty maintaining a work-family balance; gaps and shortcomings in the system for compulsory social security payments with regard to maternity benefits; ineffective childcare system and underdeveloped infrastructure for childcare assistance. The Russian poverty profile is expressly gender specific as well.
