In recent years the situation of women in Chechnya has worsened significantly. Chechen campaign, became the target of "virtue." For several years, the country's authorities discriminate against those women who refuse to wear headscarves, prohibiting them from working in the public sector. Students and students are required to wear headscarves in universities and schools. Human Rights Watch warns that forcing women to dress code violates International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Although the regulations do not warrant the wearing of headscarves were nowhere written or codified in the form of legal rules are imposed and openly supported by the leader of the republic Ramzan Kadyrov, who at this position has been anointed by the Kremlin. Interestingly, it was the Russian law guarantees to all women, including in Chechnya, freedom in the way of dressing up as their constitutional right to freedom of conscience, but to date, the Kremlin has taken no action to end these unwritten, while unlawful practice in Chechnya.
Imposing women in Chechnya, the Islamic way of dressing violates their right to private life, personal freedom, the right to have their own opinions and freedom of thought, conscience and religion. It is also a form of discrimination, having its basis in sex discrimination which is prohibited by international law.
International Convention on Civil and Political Rights (The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights - ICCPR) guarantees the right to freedom of religion. This is reflected in Article 18.2, which states that "No one shall be subjected to coercion which would restrict his (or her) right to freely profess or to accept his choice of religion or belief."
