Kamenetskaya Natalia Yurievna Kamenetskaya Natalia Yurievna
Executive Director of the Creative Laboratory "INO", art critic, artist

"I think that now we should count on increasing of the cultural level. Women should realize their abilities and potential."

"Women should realize that nobody would advocate and support their rights except themselves."

"Participation of women's organizations in the work of State and political structures can increase both the image of the public organizations and status of women in general and bring in their creative potential."
