AKMAL SAIDOV, Director of the National Human Rights Centre of Uzbekistan and Head of Delegation, said that achieving gender equality and ensuring the rights and freedoms of women was one of the priority areas of the new Uzbekistan. Women now made up 32 per cent of the deputies of the Legislative Chamber and 25 per cent of the members of the Senate. Uzbekistan had developed several targets aimed at ensuring gender equality and empowering women and girls. In accordance with the recommendations of the Committee, gender-oriented laws had been adopted. An equal marriage age for women and men had been established, and restrictions related to women's choices of previously prohibited forms of labour activity and other gender-asymmetric provisions of labour legislation had been lifted. Mandatory gender legal expertise of legislative acts had been introduced, aimed at eliminating inconsistency. A strategy for achieving gender equality in Uzbekistan until 2030 had been approved. This aimed to ensure equal rights and opportunities for women and men in electoral rights, public service, education, science, sports and health care, in the socio-economic sphere, in the prevention of harassment and violence, and in family relationships and parenting. Mr. Saidov said that Uzbekistan was implementing consistent measures aimed at strengthening national mechanisms for the advancement of women. Some of these included the creation of a Commission on Ensuring Gender Equality; a Committee on Women and Gender Equality; and a Republican Council of Women.

The delegation said that Uzbekistan had the political will and was seeking to create favourable conditions for women, reflecting to what degree the country was moving away from existing stereotypes where boys were guided into careers and girls into home making. The delegation noted that there was work ahead, saying that they had gone to the grassroots, with structures being created to ensure the work could be done. On access to justice, this involved the rule of law and vulnerable people were given free access to justice. Uzbekistan was looking at how to fund lawyer services and discussions were being held with international organizations on this topic. Gender equality for women, men, boys and girls in their interactions with State bodies could be provided and this would bring benefits for humanity and society. 2ff7e9595c
