From Totalitarian to Democratic Society in the Post-Soviet Space: Management and Implementation Process of Gender Policy in Ukraine (1991-2017)

Abstract

The article reveals the development of gender relations in contemporary Ukraine. The author admits that since gaining independence, the Ukrainian society passed various stages in the legal management of gender issues: from practically total indifference to an extremely open approach. Special attention paid to gender issues has led to the diminishing of the gender gap in the bodies of public authority. Despite the fact that Ukraine has not yet fully aligned with European standards, the progress can be noted in the field of gender policies.
