The Share of Women Debtors is Increasing

The share of women among violators has been growing year by year: in the first half of 2021, they accounted for only 8% of cases due to late payment of fines, while by 2025 this figure had reached 21%.
Currently, the Unified Register of Debtors records 1.8 million unpaid fines for traffic violations. At the same time, the majority of debts belong to men — 1.7 million cases.
