The constitution prohibits discrimination based on race, sex, religion, language, social status or other circumstances. Despite these constitutional provisions, employment discrimination against women and minorities occurs. On average women earn significantly less than men and cluster in the lower-paid jobs and professions. The high cost of maternity care benefits leads some employers to hire men rather than women. Women suffer disproportionately in situations of worker layoffs. There is no law against sexual harassment and abuses in the workplace are common. Spousal abuse is a widespread problem and is treated as a domestic matter rather than a criminal offense. It was estimated in 2004 that 70% of wives were victims of some kind of domestic abuse. Sexual violence and other crimes against women are underreported and the government provides no support services to victims.
In general human rights are respected, but serious violations occur concerning the struggle against rebels in Chechnya. Also, ethnic minorities are subjected to harassment, searches, and arrest by police, and are sometimes denied local authority permission to reside in Moscow. Anti-Semitic rhetoric is increasing and several instances of intimidation and violence have been reported. Muslims continue to face discrimination. Prisoners are subject to mistreatment, unhealthy living conditions, and lack of medical care.
