Equal Rights

Russia is a country where people can live equally, but not always has been like this, the country has gone through many changes. Life in Russia was not as good as in other Europe countries. When the socialism came, the Russian government provided the law in 1980th where it was said about the same rights between women and men. Although, it was not as same as history tells us about that fact. Women did have the same rights for education (it was free at that time) and job, but they did have lack in field of acquiring job. The salary was not the same as men had for the similar labor they were doing. And another important point which is written nowhere because of a big shame and lack of the same law is that women most of the time had to do the same hard work as men did. Irina's Grandmother (Irina, a russian girl) had to work in a construction of buildings doing the same job as men. It’s actually could be ridiculous to hear if men and women are equal, so people, please do the same things! Although, Russian women accepted that: they had no choice at that time. The communistic country did not feel sorry for anybody.

Nowadays the things have not changed so much but they became better. Men and women are able to work in the same job for the same salary. But female people cannot have a job that risks their lives or their future babies' life.

Thanks to all these changes Rusia has now a better equality between men and women.
