The situation with the erroneous inclusion of women in the register of those liable for military service and their announcement of their wanted status caused a significant public outcry and called into question the appropriateness of maintaining military records by territorial recruitment centers.

As noted by Roman Chumak, a lawyer and managing partner of the Ares Law Company Law Association, women may be included in military records only on grounds clearly defined by law — in particular, for persons with medical or pharmaceutical education or upon their voluntary application. In the absence of such grounds, the inclusion of a person in the register of those liable for military service is unlawful and indicates a violation of the established procedure.

Separately, the lawyer drew attention to the issue of the sources of obtaining and using personal data. In such cases, it must be established on the basis of which documents the person was registered, which, in turn, requires an official investigation.

According to Roman Chumak, such situations have significant consequences for citizens, because the status of "wanted" can limit access to administrative services, complicate the registration of property and movement.

Thus, the lawyer emphasizes, in the absence of legal grounds for being on military registration, the state is obliged to independently eliminate the violations committed and ensure proper protection of citizens' rights. More details on the air of radio Nakipilo.
