According to the preliminary results of the "Social Contract" project, women in Kyrgyzstan play a major role in supporting their families' economic well-being, as highlighted by the Ministry of Labor, Social Security, and Migration.
Based on the monitoring data, it has been found that out of the 10,000 participants in the project, 95.6% are women.
In Osh province, women's participation accounts for 99.4% of the total.
Over 7,500 women are engaged in agriculture projects, while over 1,300 have initiated various productions.
In the production sector, 1,100 women have established sewing workshops, while others focus on creating semi-finished products, bakery and confectionery items, and other food products. The rest of the project participants are involved in trade and services.
The department has clarified that for 2022 and 2023, the "Social Contract" program has the participation of nearly 13,000 low-income families who have already started earning income. The Ministry's training of potential participants in financial literacy and business planning has significantly influenced the program's effectiveness.
In July, Daryo reported that the judicial bodies in Kyrgyzstan have passed a ruling that allows citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic to choose between a patronym or matronym. The ruling resulted from the efforts of activist Altyn Kapalova, who filed a petition with the court regarding the matronym issue. Kapalova shared the decision on social media, which has been widely circulated.
Previously, the absence of a matron institution in Kyrgyzstan deprived citizens of the choice.
