Sure will be interesting what will happen with this one. Probably won't go far. Well, I mean, one hryvna, but she should have teamed up with a whole bunch of others.
Female activists sue Ukraine’s PM for violation of women’s rights

KIEV, March 31 (Itar-Tass) -- Ukraine’s Prime Minister Nikolai Azarov is sued by the president of the La Strada-Ukraine International Human Rights Protection Centre, Yekaterina Levchenko, and the leader of the non-governmental Information and Consulting Female Centre, Elena Suslova.
Levchenko told reporters on Wednesday that on Monday she had filed a suit in protest against what she claimed was the prime minister’s violation of equal rights for women and men.
“His phrase ‘It is not a woman’s business to make reforms’ is directly discriminating against the Ukrainian women and personally myself,” she said. “The compensation I have demanded in my suit is just one hryvna.”
Levchenko attached to the lawsuit a disc with a recording of Azarov’s speech in Dnepropetrovsk on March 19, where he had made the controversial statement that made her so angry.
