This was reported by the press service of the organization.

It is noted that this report was also sent to the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women, its causes and consequences, Rome Alsalem.

"The CRC provided information on the situation of violations of women's rights in the occupied Crimea, including violations of Crimean Tatar activists, and provided a number of examples of such illegal actions by the Kremlin. In Crimea, women are systematically persecuted for their civil position. The most vulnerable groups are the wives, mothers and daughters of political prisoners in Crimea. Also after the Russian occupation of Crimea in 2014, people's political rights began to be severely restricted on the peninsula due to their inconvenient civil position for Russia. Hundreds of activists have been subjected to such repressions, among whom women representing the indigenous Crimean Tatar people occupy a significant place”, - was informed in the statement.

This report was provided to produce a thematic report to be presented at the 50th session of the UN Human Rights Council.
