3. The motion calls on the Assembly to examine the situation of women in Ukraine and make recommendations to achieve de jure and de facto gender equality, in order to establish a democratic society based on human rights.

THE EU AND UKRAINE AFTER THE 2012 ELECTIONS Andrew WilsonEuropean Choice
Relations between the EU and Ukraine are at an impasse.
The last two years have been dominated by rows over the
selective prosecution of regime opponents, in particular the
conviction of former Prime Minister Yuliya Tymoshenko
in October 2011, and an accelerating trend towards a more
authoritarian and corrupt style of rule in Ukraine. Attention
has now turned to the parliamentary elections held on 28
October 2012 as a different test of Ukraine’s democratic
bona fides. The opposition rightly feels aggrieved that the
authorities have denied them a possible victory. There
was some direct fraud, particularly in the new territorial
constituencies.1 But in general the authorities sought to
rig the election by other methods such as the covert use of
“political technology” and a change in the voting system
that the opposition ironically agreed to back in 2011.
Paradoxically, this meant that in many ways the election
was more competitive than expected – but only because the
authorities were confident they would win.

The situation of women in Ukraine
Motion for a resolution
presented by Mrs Cramon-Taubadel and others
This motion has not been discussed in the Assembly and commits only the members who have signed it
1. The situation of women and respect for gender equality in Ukraine raise a number of serious concerns.
2. Even though women are represented in parliament, no woman holds a government post. The
government has passed discriminatory regulations with regards to what it deems to be appropriate clothing
and appearance for government workers, which target especially women. Women are also hardly
represented in the public sphere and in the work field. Support for various women’s projects has been
stopped by the government. In addition, violence against women, including domestic violence and trafficking
of human beings, especially women, are lingering concerns against which no substantive action has been
taken. Action also needs to be taken with regards to the situation of female migrant workers and their
families, especially after their return to Ukraine.
3. In view of the above, the Assembly should decide to examine more attentively the situation of women
in Ukraine and make recommendations with regards to the achievement of de jure and de facto gender
equality, in order to help Ukraine establish a society truly based on the principles of democracy, respect for
human rights and the rule of law.
