Abstract
This article is devoted to the analysis of Russian legislation from the point of observance of gender symmetry and the identification of norms that infringe on the rights of one of the genders and thereby hinder the exercise of rights on equal footing. The starting point in the research methodology is the study of the concept of a gender-neutral norm, which should proceed from the position of ensuring equality of conditions and opportunities for men and women to the same extent. Also, a gender analysis of Russian legislation was used as a methodology, as a result of which it can be concluded that the Russian state, as an institution to which society has delegated power, is not fully consistent in the political measures and steps taken to resolve this issue. The final conclusion that was reached during the study, in a number of cases, seems advisable to revise the provisions of Russian legislation beforehand with sociological research, which makes it possible to reveal the real effectiveness and possible side negative consequences of the application of certain legal norms and thereby minimize the procedural problems that arise in this regard.
Highlights
This article is devoted to the analysis of Russian legislation from the point of observance of gender symmetry and the identification of norms that infringe on the rights of one of the genders and thereby hinder the exercise of rights on an equal footing
Gender symmetry is accumulated in the Constitution, which lays down the principle of equal rights and equal opportunities for two genders
It proclaims the principle of equality and at the same time ignores it, failing to ensure its observance in life. This is in conditions when society has not yet developed a culture of respect for the principle of equality, it is being brought up on new standards of human rights, one of which is the standard of respect for a person in his gender dimension. It is confirmed by the analysis of Russian legislation in the above areas
Summary
This article is devoted to the analysis of Russian legislation from the point of observance of gender symmetry and the identification of norms that infringe on the rights of one of the genders and thereby hinder the exercise of rights on an equal footing. The analysis, first of all, was the regulation of the principle of equal rights and opportunities in those branches of legislation where gender asymmetry is most strongly represented, for example, in labor, or where the implementation of the principle is declarative, in particular, it concerns the legislation on elections. Gender symmetry is accumulated in the Constitution, which lays down the principle of equal rights and equal opportunities for two genders. It is especially important for analysis as it allows interpretation of its implementation in industry legislation. Application of the method of gender symmetry allowed the project participants to combine their efforts and develop recommendations for improving legislation
