Within the framework of the fact that the process of economic, political and social regulation and development of the state is impossible without compliance with the established legal and legislative regulations. Ensuring equality of persons in the performance of duties and equal access to the exercise of citizens' rights with proper legal regulation does not always ensure and determine equality of men and women without regard to gender.
