We propose to add to the law a direct rule prohibiting discrimination of tuberculosis patients on any grounds, in particular during their treatment. | L&Rs where provisions are absent but needed | |

However, there are no requirements for gender equality in these amendments. We believe that they should be added. As an example, we can take provisions from the main law (to which changes are being made), where rules for selecting the composition of the National Agency for Higher Education Quality Assurance are outlined. Specifically, it is stated there that "The National Agency for Higher Education Quality Assurance consists of twenty-three members, appointed by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine based on the decision of the Competition Commission following a competitive selection process, while adhering to the principles of gender balance and sectoral representation. | L&Rs where provisions are absent but needed | |

Consequently, women are less likely to be able to take advantage of the opportunities provided. It is necessary to analyze approaches to the involvement of foreign women, in particular, in medical units, and, if necessary, to introduce changes in the legislation in order to give them the right to a simplified procedure for obtaining citizenship. We also propose to prescribe a direct rule that "the simplified procedure for obtaining citizenship, in particular for persons who have outstanding merits for Ukraine" should be based on the absence of discrimination against persons who use such a procedure (the Law "On Citizenship of Ukraine", which is amended, there are also no direct norms on the need to ensure the absence of discrimination). | L&Rs where provisions are absent but needed | |

Accordingly, training, retraining, and professional development will require a different approach. In addition, this service is likely to be used more by women, because some men try not to register anywhere in order not to be mobilized. We also propose to include in the resolution direct rules prohibiting discrimination in the organization of professional training for the unemployed and the principle of promoting equal rights and opportunities for women and men to participate in the labor market. | L&Rs where provisions are absent but needed | |

The Law "On Professional (Vocational and Technical) Education" (which is amended by this law) contains the wording "Citizens of Ukraine have equal rights to obtain professional (vocational and technical) education in accordance with their abilities and inclinations", it can be expanded with a focus on ensuring equal rights and opportunities for women and men. | L&Rs where provisions are absent but needed | |
