WOMEN IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION OF REPUBLIC OF UZBEKISTAN: ADVANTAGES AND LEGAL BASIS

Abstract

Having the right gender policy and legal mechanism to ensure the rights and
opportunities of all women and girls in all spheres is an indicator of a developed
modern state. The international community, seeking to develop effective measures
to eliminate gender discrimination, has adopted several instruments that include
United Nations conventions (e. g. UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms
of Discrimination against Women — CEDAW, UN Convention on the Political
Rights of Women, UN Convention on Discrimination in Employment and
Occupation). These documents note that ensuring gender balance in all spheres of
life is still a global and local problem that affects every country in the world. And
the challenges of women's participation in public administration and decision-
making remain problematic for many countries, especially Asian ones. Achieving
gender equality is impossible without a certain mechanism for the implementation
of rights and a code. One of the main components of public policy in the
management process is the creation of national mechanisms to promote and
strengthen equality between women and men.
