report<\/a> to the UN Committee for Children\u2019s Rights concerning the problems of children coming from vulnerable groups. Appendices to the report were prepared together with LGBT organization \u201cVykhod\u201d (Coming Out) and the Russian LGBT Network. Publication of the report was also supported by the \u201cCentral Asia on the Move\u201d Platform.<\/span><\/p>\nBefore the discussion of the official report of the Russian Federation at the Committee\u2019s session in Geneva on January 23-24, 2014, the Russian Ministry of labor and social security has carried out a roundtable discussion of alternative reports with their authors and NGOs, which had provided their materials to the Committee. <\/span><\/p>\nOlga Abramenko took part in the roundtable discussion on January 17, 2014, and presented report of\u00a0 ADC \u201cMemorial\u201d on the situation of children from vulnerable groups. She has pointed attention of the members of the official Russian delegation to the session of the UN Committee to the problem of access to secondary school education for children from immigrant families, whose period of stay in Russia is legally limited to 90 days and doesn\u2019t correspond to the period of stay of their parents in Russia (who usually have work permits for one or three years). As a result of that immigrant parents have to leave the country with their children every 90 days, so that the children can receive new immigration cards, the lack of which prevents them from entering Russian schools. Thus, their education is interrupted, and often the parents do not have the possibility to leave Russia and return back, so the children are de facto excluded from the school education. <\/span><\/p>\nIn response to this deputy minister of labor A.Vovchenko said that it was a conscious choice of parents \u2013 to come to Russia with their children, and the ministry receives a lot of complaints from Russian parents that too many immigrant children attend Russian schools. Representative of the procurator general\u2019s office M.Zaytseva reported that children of highly qualified professionals have possibilities to stay in Russia during the whole period of their parents\u2019 stay. Olga Abramenko responded that this was a proof of discrimination of the children of less qualified immigrant parents compared to higher qualified parents. It also proved violation of children\u2019s right to live with their families for all children staying in the Russian Federation, which is guaranteed by the Convention on the rights of the child \u00a0regardless of their citizenship, status and registration.
