The government granted female deputies permission to travel abroad: who the restrictions apply to.

New travel conditions for women-deputies of local councils

According to inkorr.com: The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved new rules for women-deputies of local councils regarding travel outside the country. This information was provided by the State Border Guard Service.

'Women who are deputies of local councils can travel abroad without restrictions. However, the exceptions are those female deputies who are officials of local self-government – have relevant powers and receive a salary from the local budget. These female deputies can only travel abroad under certain conditions, such as business trips or visits to children who are abroad.'

Representatives of the border service noted that to allow the designated individuals to travel, databases need to be updated according to government procedures and timelines.

Thus, the new changes allowed women-deputies of local councils to travel abroad without restrictions, except for officials who must adhere to certain conditions.

These innovations are aimed at simplifying the travel procedure for women-deputies, supporting their professional development and opportunities to participate in international events. At the same time, this is a necessary step to maintain control over the movement of officials funded by local budgets.
