GENDER EQUALITY PRINCIPLE – SELECTED NATIONAL LAW REGULATIONS
Journal Title: Annuals of the Administration and Law - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Gender equality, both de jure and de facto, is one of the priorities for United Nations, European Council and European Union activities. It is also an important foundation for the national legislation, even more so considering it has constitional status. On top of that, it is also a principle applicable for all other constitional principles in democratic countries. As the Constitutional Court repeatedly stressed, the principle of equality is universal and all its limitations, which are not a result of striving to deepen the current state of social equality, are unacceptable. In the following article the author presents basic legal regulations concerning the gender equality principle referring to constitional laws and to other acts in the rank of statute regulating government policy on gender equality, electoral law and labour law. Reflections were supplemented by several comments taken from Constitutional Tribunal orders.<br/><br/>
