Regulations, 30 January 1987.

Regulations adopted by the All-Union Women's Committee give recently established women's councils greater scope to initiate legislation and provide that laws and statutory instruments affecting women's interests cannot be discussed without their participation. The Councils are also to play an active role in representing the interests of the female workforce at the enterprise level through participation in formulating and monitoring collective agreements, planning the allocation of resources on the social and day-to-day needs of the staff, and supervising the work of medical, pre-school and educational institutions, commercial and public catering enterprises, and day-to-day services.
