RESEARCH RESULTS 

Indeed, ancient Greek scholars such as Socrates, 
Aristotle, and Plato referred to the police as the

society. They also put forward laws that

Greek scholar Antifont used the idea of equality 
between men and women in his works: "Nature 
creates everyone: women and men equally, but 
people develop laws that make people unequal."

the first time that women had the right to think 
and express themselves freely. If we pay 
attention to the legal development of gender 
equality, first of all, it is necessary to analyze the 
historical-theoretical and legal aspects of the 
legal basis of gender equality in international and 
national legislation. Of course, we all know that 
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 
adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1948, 
recognizes the equality of men and women, and 
Article 1 of the Declaration states: They are 
endowed with reason and conscience, and 
therefore should treat each other in the spirit of 
brotherhood. ” Another international instrument 
adopted by the United Nations in 1966, Article 3 
of the International Covenant on Civil and 
Political Rights, states that "States Parties 
undertake to ensure that men and women have 
equal access to all civil and political rights 
provided for in this Covenant." Article 2 of the 
Law "On Guarantees of Equal Rights and 
Opportunities for Women and Men" states that 
the legislation on guarantees of equal rights and 
opportunities for women and men consists of 
this Law and other legislative acts. legal basis. 
Therefore, it is reasonable that our independent 
state, which has ratified the above-mentioned 
international documents, attaches great 
importance to the issue of equality of women and 
men in its national legislation, based on the 
universally recognized requirements of 
international law. 

Another legal guarantee of this basis is that 
Article 46 of the Constitution of the Republic of 
Uzbekistan states that "women and men have 
equal rights." This means that both international 
legal and constitutional legal basis for gender 
equality is guaranteed. Gender equality also 
means social equality. It is not enough to include 
the necessary provisions in the Constitution and 
laws to ensure such equality. Therefore, special 
attention is paid to "raising the legal culture in 
society." 

The development and adoption of a strategy for 
gender equality in Uzbekistan will help to build 
respect for human rights in the country and 
further enhance the image of Uzbekistan in the 
international arena. For the first time in the 
history of Uzbekistan, the number of women in 
the national parliament has reached the level set 
by the UN. According to this indicator, our 
country is in the top 50 

In recent years, work has been done to ensure 
gender equality and increase the role of women 
in social and political life in several areas: 

• Improving women's rights legislation; 

• Improving the institutional framework for 
women's protection; 

• Raising public awareness of gender equality 
and women's rights; 

• Training of officials responsible for ensuring 
compliance with law enforcement practices 
in accordance with relevant legal standards. 

Over the past four years, our country has 
adopted two laws on gender equality, support for 
women, increasing their role in government and 
society, 6 decrees and resolutions of the 
President, 16 government decrees. 

Gender equality is a noble value that plays an 
important role not only in ensuring human 
rights, but also in the political, socio-economic 
development of society. In addition, gender 
equality is one of the indicators of a country's 
level of democratic development. Therefore, in 
today's era of globalization, this issue is a 
priority in society. 

In particular, the Law of the Republic of 
Uzbekistan "On guarantees of equal rights and 
opportunities for women and men", adopted on 
September 2, 2019, is a comprehensive and 
fundamental piece of legislation aimed at 
ensuring gender equality in our country. With 
this law, for the first time in our national

legislation, the concept of "gender" is defined. 
The law defines the main directions of state 
policy in the field of ensuring equal rights and 
opportunities for women and men, the 
mechanisms of public administration in this area. 
In particular, in order to prevent gender 
discrimination against women, the Commission 
on Gender Equality was established in the 
Republic of Uzbekistan. 

An advisory council on gender equality has been 
set up in ministries and departments. The 
“Strategy for Achieving Gender Equality in the 
Republic of Uzbekistan in 2020-2030” aimed at 
ensuring equal rights and opportunities for 
women and men in the political, social and 
economic spheres was adopted. The 
implementation of the gender strategy will 
contribute to the implementation of national and 
international commitments, the Beijing 
Declaration and Action Plan, the Convention on 
the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination 
against Women, the Sustainable Development 
Goals and others. 

In recent years, special attention has been paid to 
ensuring equal rights for women and men, 
increasing the role of women in public 
administration, and appointing women to 
various positions of responsibility. As a result, 
our women hold responsible positions such as 
deputies, senators, governors, ambassadors, 
prosecutors, judges, and tax collectors. 

In order to further increase the participation of 
women in public administration, a reserve of 
more than 6,000 active women has been formed. 
At present, systematic trainings are being 
organized to prepare them for various leadership 
positions. 

Currently, a number of ministries and agencies 
have an Advisory Council on Gender Equality. 
Often, members of this council are faced with the 
question of who should lead this council, how to 
organize work in this direction. In order to 

provide them with methodological and practical 
assistance in this area, we want to develop a 
media plan and strengthen advocacy. The 
purpose of the national contest "Gender Equality 
Activist" is to analyze and promote the work 
done in this area, to disseminate best practices, 
to protect the rights and interests of women, to 
increase their participation in society. According 
to the results of each year, the competition is 
traditionally held in the field of gender equality, 
which promotes the development of society, the 
protection of women's rights, the 
implementation of relevant tasks in their 
respective fields. and journalists will participate. 
The competition will be held in several main 
nominations. In short, the issue of gender 
equality has been raised as a priority in our 
society today. Extensive legal and practical work 
has been launched in this regard. Most 
importantly, the results of these measures are 
showing their effectiveness in the short term in 
ensuring the strength of the family and 
stabilizing the spiritual and educational 
environment in society. In the future, this noble 
work will be continued and will rise to a new 
level. 

The share of women in political parties has 
increased to 44%, in higher education to 40%, in 
entrepreneurship to 35%, and women are widely 
involved in information and communication, 
innovation, energy, and engineering. 

“The share of women in management positions 
has reached 27 per cent. More than 15,000 
people, including advanced and educated 
women, have been formed in 81 ministries and 
departments, ”the senator said. 

For the development of women's 
entrepreneurship, more than 224,000 women 
received soft loans totaling 6.9 trillion soums, the 
People's Bank was attached to them, and 
Women's Entrepreneurship Centers were 
established in 14 regions. The system of

rehabilitation and adaptation of victims of 
violence has been radically revised. 

The Strategy for Gender Equality in Uzbekistan 
until 2030 envisages a comprehensive approach 
to the implementation of the principle of equality 
between women and men in all areas and levels 
of decision-making and implementation. The 
Strategy also serves to create conditions for the 
realization of equal rights and opportunities for 
men and women and to promote gender equality 
in economic, political and social life in order to 
respect fundamental human rights. 

The strategy covers issues such as providing 
equal and quality education for all, higher 
education for girls in rural areas, gender equality 
for women, prevention of violence, and 
prevention of human trafficking. 

Through the implementation of the gender 
strategy, the following will be achieved: 

Expands the practice of appointing women to 
senior positions in government bodies at the top 
and bottom. 

Equilibrium between women and men will be 
ensured through the introduction of a temporary 
quota system in public bodies where gender 
disparities exist. 

Families in need and low-income, especially in 
rural areas, are provided with employment, 
creation of decent working conditions and social 
support, as well as self-employment. 

The most important thing is to prevent cases of 
harassment and violence against women in the 
workplace and to eliminate the negative 
attitudes towards them in society.
