December 13, 2023In a new draft law on military duty, they aim to equalize men and women in most rights and responsibilities. This was announced by MP Mariana Bezuhla on Facebook. The adoption of the new law and the start of its implementation are estimated to occur within 6-9 months. The terrible losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the front have led to the total mobilization of men several months ago.
“Women will have a unique deferment and the right to dismissal due to pregnancy. If pregnant, they are not obliged to mobilize or can choose to resign. However, maternity leave as a right for deferment/resignation is planned to be granted to both the wife and husband,” the deputy wrote.
“Moreover, women will be able to enter assault units and other combat professions strictly on a voluntary basis. For military personnel spouses with 1-2 children, one of them will have the right to deferment/resignation. If there are three or more children, both will have this right. Additionally, in the draft, if a male serviceman has a third child, he gains the right to resignation,” added Bezuhla. According to her, the draft law will be registered in the Parliament within two weeks.
