A mother of fifteen children spoke of humiliation from officials.
In an interview with HRC member Marina Akhmadova, Nadizhda Rogova stated that when she submitted documents for the title "Mother Hero", she was answered with the words "Just think, she's a girl".
"I felt humiliated. It's like they took it and trampled on it," she shared.
In the interview, they stated that the decision to reward heroic mothers was firmly taken by the Russian president, but according to Rogova, "it still depends on the president, it should stay down, but the move has not moved down."
