metadata.value: The article analyses women’s organizations of modern Russia as a component of civil society.
  The study is based on the gender approach and materials analyzed include statistical data, results
  of opinion polls, websites of women’s organizations, interviews and other documents. The women’s movement is considered as one of the social practices in the context of the theory of
  practices proposed by Pierre Bourdie, Robert Connell and others. The author notes that the
  peak of women’s activity in Russia was in the 1990s, when women were uniting to solve social
  problems, such as women’s unemployment, human trafficking, etc. During that time, the women’s
  movement in Russia was developing with the support of international women’s organizations
  and foreign charity funds, but after the adoption of the so-called law on “foreign agents”
  many funds suspended or limited their activities in Russia. As a result, nowadays, many Russian
  NGOs including women’s organizations are facing financial problems. NGOs recognized as a
  “foreign agent” experience the most difficulties while organizations with the status of socially
  oriented NGOs can receive government’s support and funding. Using the method of content
  analysis, the author revealed that names of Russian women’s organizations often include such
  words as “family”, “childhood”, and “motherhood”, whereas the words “woman”/“women” and
  ‘women’s’ are rarely used. This is due to the fact that in Russian society there are still widespread
  views that the range of women’s interests should be limited to the private sphere. At the same
  time, the gender theory and feminism are often presented as attempts to undermine national
  traditions. As a result, a woman is considered as an object of social policy rather than a subject
  of social processes. The majority of Russian women’s organizations focus on charity work, but
  specific women’s interests and problems are often ignored or undervalued. However, domestic
  violence, labour market discrimination, and other gender problems can be solved only through
  the close interaction of the “third sector”, business, and government.
