ADC Memorial has spent many years fighting for gender equality in the workplace, and it launched the regional campaign #AllJobs4All Women in 2017. This campaign has resulted in the partial or full repeal of this discriminatory practice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

n 2012 ADC Memorial received a request for assistance from Svetlana Medvedeva, who had been denied a position as helmsperson-motorist in Samara Oblast. ADC Memorial supported Svetlana in courts, and in 2013 a complaint was submitted to the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women, which issued a decision in her case in 2016. The Committee found that the practice of professional bans is discriminatory and violates the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women<\/a>. In 2017 Russia\u2019s Supreme Court granted Medvedeva\u2019s cassation appeal and sent her case back to the lower instance court for reconsideration. A final decision in favor of Medvedeva was adopted by the Samara Oblast Court in January 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
