    President Mirziyoyev highlights Asian Women's Forum contribution to women's empowerment

    President Mirziyoyev highlights Asian Women's Forum contribution to women's empowerment

    The Asian Women's Forum commenced in the historic city of Samarkand, Uzbekistan, with participants from various countries coming together to discuss and promote women's active roles in societal, political, economic, cultural, and humanitarian spheres. The Uzbek leader expressed gratitude to the attendees and emphasized the forum's importance in fostering international cooperation and sharing experiences. He highlighted the rich history of collaboration among Asian countries and stressed the region's significant progress in achieving Sustainable Development Goals and gender equality.

    "The first international conference held in our country will make a significant contribution to the increase of women's activity in various spheres, to the exchange of mutual experience, and the strengthening of friendly cooperation relations," he stated.

    President Mirziyoyev reaffirmed Uzbekistan's commitment to women's rights and development, citing initiatives such as the increased representation of women in public administration and the significant rise in the number of businesswomen. He underscored the government's efforts to provide women with education, vocational training, and employment opportunities, as well as its focus on addressing the needs of vulnerable women.

    In the last seven years, there has been a steady increase in the representation of women in Uzbekistan's public administration, rising from 27% to 35%. Currently, women constitute 32% of deputies in the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis and 25% of the members of the Senate, with women now represented in every district.

    He noted, "Women are an integral part of our society, and the issues of fully ensuring their rights and interests, and protecting motherhood and childhood have been comprehensively expressed in such conceptual documents as the renewed Constitution, the 'Development Strategy - 2030' and the 'Strategy of Achieving Gender Equality in the Republic of Uzbekistan'."

    The President noted Uzbekistan's recognition by the international community for its efforts, with the World Bank's Gender Equality Index ranking the country among the fastest-developing nations and the Open Gender Data Index placing it in the top 20 countries. He expressed hope for the Forum to become a biennial tradition and proposed the adoption of a United Nations General Assembly resolution to further enhance the socio-economic, political-legal, and cultural-humanitarian activity of Asian women.

    "Our honourable women, who are active participants in today's historic changes, are a constructive force in the implementation of our irreversible democratic reforms and rapid development, and a solid foundation of the just and peace-loving, multi-ethnic and prosperous country we are building," President Mirziyoyev emphasized.

    President Mirziyoyev concluded by acknowledging the pivotal role of Uzbek women in the country's democratic reforms and rapid development. He reiterated his commitment to expanding women's economic opportunities, realizing their leadership potential, and addressing the challenges faced by vulnerable women. He wished the participants success in their deliberations and extended his best wishes for the Forum's success.
