Abstract:
In the article, the issue of women, their participation in socio-political relations, the fact that their rights
and freedoms are ensured in practice is an important index of the development of states and democracy. Also,
attention to women has risen to the level of real state policy: its legal and institutional foundations have been
fundamentally improved. This led to the emergence of ideas that women also have a position as a productive
force.
Keywords:
women, women in socio-political processes, gender.
Introduction:
In today's globalization process, the place
and role of women in the formation of an active civic
position of the new generation in any situation is more
important than ever. Therefore, the main content of
the reforms is to support women with new ideas and
initiatives, to ensure their active participation in the
ongoing work, transformations, and socio-political
processes in our country. Indeed, it would be true to
say that honoring human dignity is realized primarily
through respect and reverence for women, honoring
our respected mothers, and valuing our gentle sisters.
It is no secret that the new Renaissance depends, first
of all, on the development of science and the
strengthening of national spirituality. Deeply aware of
this truth, the state is creating new opportunities for
women to engage in education and science.
Undoubtedly, the reforms aimed at fully ensuring the
participation of women in the management of the
affairs of society and the state, their socio-economic
and legal support are an example of social justice in
ensuring gender equality and equal rights in our
country.
Attention to women has been elevated to the level of
true state policy: its legal and institutional foundations
have been fundamentally improved. Activities to
ensure gender equality and enhance the role of women
in social and political life in our country consist of such
main areas as: improving legislation on women's rights;
improving the institutional framework for the
protection of women; raising public awareness of
gender equality and women's rights; training officials
responsible for ensuring their observance in law
enforcement practice based on relevant legal norms.
At the same time, within the framework of the gender
strategy, the concept of gender equality means the
equality of rights and opportunities of women and men
in all spheres of life and activity of society, including in
politics, economics, law, culture, education, science,
sports. Indeed, ancient Greek scholars such as Socrates,
Aristotle, and Plato considered the polis, where
equality and justice reigned in society, as the best state.
The best laws were those that guaranteed equality for
all. The Greek scholar Antiphon, applying the idea of
equality between men and women in his works,
emphasized: "Nature creates everyone equal: both
women and men, but people develop laws that make
people unequal."
In particular, in recent years, the implementation of
comprehensive measures aimed at ensuring the rights
and legitimate interests of women, strengthening their
role in society, and supporting the institution of the
family has reached a new qualitative level. Uzbekistan
has joined all the main international documents that
protect women from any discrimination and

humiliation. Examples include the Geneva Convention
on the Protection of Motherhood, the New York
Conventions "On the Political Rights of Women" and
"On the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination
against Women," and the Protocol "On the Prevention,
Suppression and Punishment of Trafficking in Persons,
Especially Women and Children, Supplementing the
United Nations Convention against Transnational
Organized Crime."
Laws "On Guarantees of Equal Rights and Opportunities
for Women and Men," "On Protection of Women from
Harassment and Violence," and "On Protection of the
Reproductive Health of Citizens" have been adopted in
our country. Mandatory gender-legal expertise of
legislative acts has also been introduced. It should be
noted that on the issues of supporting women, more
than 30 decrees and resolutions, as well as government
decisions, were adopted at the initiative of the head of
state. In March of this year alone, the decrees of the
President of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On Measures
to Improve the System of Work with Families and
Women, Support for Mahalla and the Elderly," "On
Measures to Further Accelerate Work on Systemic
Support for Families and Women," and the resolution
"On the Organization of the Activities of the State
Committee for Family and Women" were adopted.
By the Decree "On Measures to Further Accelerate
Work on Systemic Support for Families and Women,"
the National Program for Increasing the Activity of
Women in All Spheres of the Country's Economic,
Political, and Social Life for 2022-2026 and the
Comprehensive Action Plan for the Implementation of
the National Program for 2022-2023 were approved. It
should be noted that in order to organize systematic
work on the consistent implementation of the
Sustainable Development Goals of the UN Global
Agenda for the period up to 2030, the 5th goal of the
"National Goals and Objectives in the Field of
Sustainable Development for the Period up to 2030,"
approved by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers
No. 83 dated February 21, 2022, - ensuring gender
equality and expanding the rights and opportunities of
all women - is consistent with the reforms aimed at
ensuring equal rights and opportunities for women and
men in our country.
Within the framework of the implementation of this
goal, 9 tasks have been defined: eliminating all forms of
discrimination against women, ending all forms of
violence against them, including human trafficking,
sexual exploitation and other forms of exploitation,
early marriages and forced marriages, ensuring
women's full participation at all stages of political,
economic and social life and equal opportunities for
leadership in decision-making, ensuring universal
access to healthcare services for the provision of
comprehensive medical and sanitary assistance in the
field of reproductive health protection, etc. In order to
implement these tasks, the Senate of the Oliy Majlis
approved the Strategy for Achieving Gender Equality in
the Republic of Uzbekistan until 2030.
As a logical continuation of these efforts, the New
Uzbekistan Development Strategy for 2022-2026
provides for a number of goals and objectives for the
realization of the rights and legitimate interests of
women. In particular, tasks related to women's issues
are defined in 5 goals of the Development Strategy.
Goal 69 "Supporting women, ensuring their active
participation in the life of society" provides, among
other things, for creating an atmosphere of intolerance
towards harassment and violence against women in
society, ensuring the rights and legitimate interests of
women.
The activities of women, ensuring their rights in full,
also depend on their knowledge of how their rights are
protected by the state and its bodies. Therefore, taking
into account the importance and relevance of this
issue, the Decree of the President of the Republic of
Uzbekistan "On Measures for the Fundamental
Improvement of Activities in the Field of Supporting
Women and Strengthening the Family Institution" was
published on February 2, 2018. According to the
Decree, attention is paid to increasing the socio-
political and social activity of women in Uzbekistan,
creating conditions for them to realize their abilities
and potential in various spheres and sectors, ensuring
unconditional observance of their rights and legitimate
interests, comprehensive support for motherhood and
childhood, as well as ensuring large-scale work to
strengthen the institution of the family, and other
important topical issues.
Support for women's initiatives within the framework
of state policy on women's issues, as well as the
activities of public organizations and associations,
requires a certain gender factor. Although we did not
set the goal of studying gender in this study, the
processes of political socialization of women are
connected with this factor. Because practice itself
proves that in any case, the gender issue in state policy
is an integral part of political socialization.
Activities to ensure the rights and obligations of
women on the basis of legislation, on the one hand,
were aimed at preserving and developing the principles
formed during the Soviet era, and on the other hand,
based on the characteristics of the period of transition
to a new market economy and a democratic system,
changes were made to the legislation in accordance
with the times. This, in turn, led to the introduction into

practice in the independent republic of international
norms and obligations adopted by the world
community, the adoption in legislation of conditions
related to the life of women.
In these processes, in connection with the new era,
many new principles were taken as a basis and
enshrined at the legislative level, such as the marriage
contract, property obligations of the parties,
prevention of discrimination against women's rights in
labor activity, labor guarantees, employment
guarantees
under
unemployment
conditions,
guarantees of economic equality, the conclusion of
contracts, and guarantees of equality with men in
entrepreneurship.
One of the peculiarities of protecting the interests of
women in Uzbekistan is that in most cases they do not
know their rights, that is, they are not familiar with the
new legislation, or even if they know it, they do not
believe that they can protect themselves. This situation
requires state and non-state structures responsible for
women's affairs to take practical measures to improve
women's legal literacy and accelerate their activities.
Based on the foregoing, it should be noted that one of
the important features of women's social, spiritual, and
political influence is the nature of management in the
labor collective where they work, which depends
mainly on the ability and culture of managers to
manage the organization, as well as methods and
means.
If a leader, taking into account the fact that women are
representatives of the gender, can liberalize the
environment in the labor collective, put forward
projects and ideas aimed at supporting them, and set
an example in their implementation, this will influence
the activity of women in the labor collective and, of
course, will play a large role in further increasing their
socio-political activity. "At the same time, our women
actively participate in the positive solution of various
problems of mahallas. The activities of women's
committees in mahallas are no exception. In this way,
the population has been solving both religious and
secular issues together. This is certainly a positive
phenomenon in our society."
It should be noted that in recent years, the issue of
gender equality has been raised to the level of state
policy, and 25 legislative acts have been adopted in this
area. Today, as a result of the special attention paid to
enhancing the role of women in society and their
support, significant changes are taking place both in
social relations and in legislation. In particular, on
02.09.2019, the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On
Guarantees of Equal Rights and Opportunities for
Women and Men" was adopted. The Law defines the
concept of "gender" in our national legislation for the
first time and guarantees the creation by the state of
equal rights and opportunities for women and men in
public service, electoral processes, socio-economic,
educational, scientific, cultural, and healthcare
spheres.
The issue of ensuring gender equality has been raised
to the level of state policy, and the Committee on
Women and Gender Equality, the Commission of the
Republic of Uzbekistan on Gender Equality, and
Consultative Councils on Ensuring Equal Rights and
Opportunities for Women and Men have been
established in the upper house of parliament.
