RETURNING TO THE SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE BY PhD M.Kh. KHASSENOV «ON THE RESULTS OF THE ANALYSIS OF LEGISLATION OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN ON STATE GUARANTEES OF EQUAL RIGHTS AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES OF MEN AND WOMEN»

Abstract

Gender equality, as a provision on the prohibition of discrimination on the basis of sex, is enshrined in the Constitution and states that “no one shall be subject to any discrimination for reasons of origin, social, property status, occupation, sex, race, nationality, language, attitude towards religion, convictions, place of residence or any other circumstances”. The article analyzes the scientific article PhD M.Kh. Khasenov “On the results of the analysis of legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan on state guarantees of equal rights and equal opportunities of men and women” published in the Bulletin of the Institute of Legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan in 2019. The author analyzed the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated December 8, 2009 No. 223-IV “On state guarantees of equal rights and equal opportunities of men and women”. The research work done by the author and the proposals and recommendations developed haven’t lost their relevance even taking into account the past time. The study raises issues of inconsistency between the analyzed law and other legislative acts, and also notes the presence of unresolved aspects in ensuring gender equality. The issues of equality of men and women in the economic and labor environment, issues of remuneration, their access to state and military service, judicial protection against restrictions and infringement of rights, harassment in the labor environment, etc. are raised. In his scientific work M.Kh. Khasenov provides suggestions and recommendations for solving these issues and further improving the legislation and state gender policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
