22. Ms. Novikova had asked what authorities other than the Equal Opportunities Commission bore responsibility for sanctions under the anti-discrimination laws. The Equal Opportunities Commissions had limited powers of sanction only in relation to systemic discrimination by virtue of their formal investigation powers. Those against whom a non-discriminatory notice was issued had the right of access to the courts. The courts bore the major responsibility for enforcing the legislation. 23. In cases concerning education, all complaints were stayed for referral to the Secretary of State for Education and Science in order to allow an inquiry to be made and the necessary steps taken, without the need for parents or students to pursue the case through the courts. Such a referral did not extinguish the right of access to the courts and, after a period of two months, if no reply had been received from the Secretary of State, the case would continue. 24. In 1989, a new voluntary organization, the Women's Legal Defence Fund, had been launched with the support of the Government, both legal professions and the Equal Opportunities Commission, among many others, in order to assist more women to bring complaints under the legislation. That organization existed to extend the advice given to women under the law by training non-lawyers (for example, union officials and advice workers) and to extend the number and regional distribution of qualified lawyers able to advise and act in such cases. 25.

As with male offenders, the majority were dealt with in magistrate's court rather than being remanded in custody or released on bail pending trial by jury in the higher Crown 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing legal and social issues related to women's rights and discrimination, with a focus on the UK. It mentions specific laws and institutions, such as the Equal Opportunities Commission and the courts, and provides information on sanctions, complaints, and the role of various organizations. The text does not seem to be related to economic development, natural resources, agriculture, or any of the other categories that involve tangible goods or services. It is more focused on social and legal issues, which leads me to hypothesize that it is related to the categories of Employment, Health, or Humanitarian aid and relief.
