In St. Petersburg, a group of activists conducted an action against the ban on the bebi boxes, Metro reports . Girls in masks of the initiator of the ban, the first deputy chairman of the Federation Council Committee, Elena Mizulina, were arranged in the center of the city of Perfoman.

The participants in the rally put the inscriptions to the garbage tanks: “This will replace the Baby-Box,” “In the Baby Box, you can’t, in the garbage can”, “Is it better than a betabin-box?” In addition, the girls threw dolls in tanks depicting babies. So activists illustrated one of the possible results of the initiative of Mizulina.

"The ban on the baby boxes will lead to monstrous consequences. Deprived of the opportunity to transfer the child to professionals, desperate women will leave children anywhere, even in garbage tanks. Our society has recently discovered beta-boxes. They are not many, not many people know about their existence, but this is a huge breakthrough. The woman finally got the opportunity to abandon the child, if the concern for him is not capable of her, however. Instead of maintaining the idea of ​​a bet -boxes, as well as working on a prevention of unwanted pregnancy - organizing sexual education, spreading free condoms and most importantly - to develop the country's economy so that people feel confidence in the future and want to have children - tries to force the role of the mother’s role to force to each woman. Motherhood.

The action took place without detention.

On Wednesday, the government supported the bill Mizulina , which prohibits the creation of a baby box. "The feasibility of adopting the bill is due to the need to fulfill the provisions of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, since the existence of specially created places in a number of constituent entities of the Russian Federation for leaving children after birth violates Article 6-19 and 19 of this international treaty. The Government of the Russian Federation is supported by the government, subject to its improvement," the official review of the bill is quoted.

“I am grateful to the government for supporting this bill,” Mizulina noted. “All the comments indicated in the official review can be easily eliminated by the second reading.”

On June 3, Mizulina introduced a bill on the ban on Baby Baby in Russia to the State Duma. She proposed to prescribe in the legislation that "activities aimed at organizing anonymous abandonment of children, including the creation and maintenance of specialized places for anonymous abandonment of the child, are not allowed."

The initiative also provides for liability for legal entities for creating conditions for anonymous abandonment of children. The creation by a legal entity of a baby boxes, the maintenance of such places, or the provision of premises for these purposes, entails the imposition of an administrative fine on legal entities in the amount of 1 to 5 million rubles or an administrative suspension of activities for up to 90 days, the draft law says.

In the explanatory note, Mizulin noted that the practice of anonymous abandonment of newborn children in specialized places entails an increase in the number of failures: "This trend is recorded in all countries where such a practice has or takes place." The senator also referred to a study conducted in Germany. "The main argument of supporters of the creation of a baby boxes is that they allow you to preserve the life of a newborn, prevent the murder of their child with the mother. However, according to a study conducted by the German Institute of Youth, the opportunity to anonymously hand over the child does not affect the number of cases of infanticide (murder of a newborn mother)," the document says.

The explanatory note also notes that, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the number of registered killings by the mother of a newborn child over the past 7 years in Russia has doubled. According to Mizulina, this dynamics is not associated with the presence of a baby boxes, but "with a radical change in the state policy in relation to the family, birth and education of children."

The bill is submitted to the approximate program of the autumn session of the State Duma. Its consideration is scheduled for November.
