Abstract

The journey towards gender equality and women's empowerment in Uzbekistan has witnessed significant strides in recent years, underpinned by a robust legal and normative framework aimed at fostering women's socio-political participation. Historically entrenched gender roles have gradually evolved, catalyzed by urbanization, educational reforms, and international commitments to women's rights. Central to this transformation is Uzbekistan's legal architecture, exemplified by constitutional provisions guaranteeing gender equality and non-discrimination. Legislative instruments such as the Law on Guarantees of Equal Rights and Opportunities for Women and Men underscore the state's commitment to gender mainstreaming across public spheres. Political participation has been bolstered through gender quotas in electoral bodies and initiatives like the National Action Strategy for Gender Equality, reflecting a concerted effort to elevate women's voices in decision-making processes. Complementary measures targeting social engagement and economic empowerment further reinforce this trajectory, supported by governmental and non-governmental entities. However, challenges persist, including entrenched gender stereotypes and gaps in implementation. Addressing these obstacles necessitates innovative strategies and collaborative action to realise the vision of a more equitable and inclusive society. The culmination of legislative advancements, institutional mechanisms, and societal engagement underscores Uzbekistan's commitment to realising the full potential of its female populace, heralding a promising era of gender equality and women's empowerment.
