“I think it’s to do with religion, I believe it is because a lot of religious guys come here,” she said. Three women from Dagestan have now filed a complaint to the regional Prosecutor’s Office accusing the sports complex of unconstitutional gender-based discrimination, a copy of the document, shared by Olga Gnezdilova, a lawyer with the Rights Initiative Project, showed.

Islam ...enjoy

Living in the dark ages..

Why is it all about and against women? Ban the men who attack, harass and corrupt women

i love that you publicize news about the voiceless and powerless

2020..and this happens? Women not allowed to use a pool..And TrUmP thinks Putin is the cat’s meow. America should side with women everywhere to have equal rights and put Putin and tRumP and all dictators out of business and human rights the standard. My heart is with you!

Trivial news !! only being put in headlines since it holds implied criticism to muslims

Muslims will rule the world if we let them

They should ban women from their community altogether and see how long they last.

What? And no MeToo meltdowns? Where’s Madonna? Where’s Oprah? Where’s all those woke women in their pink hats? The silence is deafening.

Such BS 💩 I hope these women are successful in their legal attempt to have the decision declared unconstitutional.

Islam is right about women.

Imagine that? Trump, who’s part of the old KGB, had something to do with this?
