Equality and equity are the central principles of human rights, being special values (standards) of any democratic and rule-of-law state. A provision that enshrines the equity of all human beings and the equality of men and women should be seen as a guarantee that mediates the functioning of all branches of government. The article reviews the peculiarities of the legislative consolidation and implementation of the constitutional provision on the equality of men and women in Brandenburg. In addition, the article analyzes the Law on Parity adopted by the State in 2019, according to which parties are obliged to include equal number of men and women as candidates in the lists of the State in elections. Different views on its feasibility and effectiveness are studied.
