The Senate of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan, in collaboration with the Republican Commission for Increasing the Role of Women in Society, Gender Equality, and Family Issues, the United Nations Development Programme and with the financial support of the UK government, commenced a five-day training programme on 15 April 2024. The initiative aims to enhance the leadership potential of female representatives from various political parties.
The primary objective of the event is to equip candidates enlisted in the national personnel reserve, women's wings of political parties, and members of local councils—who advocate for gender equality in political spheres—with essential skills to augment their opportunities.
Furthermore, the event featured an award ceremony honoring the winners of the best scenarios competition, "Woman Leader in Politics: A Role Model," organized in March 2024 by the Republican Commission for Increasing the Role of Women in Society, Gender Equality, and Family Issues, in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme. The competition aims to foster women's interest in active political participation, craft a contemporary image of female leadership, and cultivate a positive public perception of socially engaged women in politics.
The democratization of modern society necessitates active female participation in political life, underscoring the imperative of safeguarding women's rights as an integral component of human rights amidst ongoing globalization processes.
