Uzbekistan’s family support initiatives presented at an international forum
These days, Türkiye is hosting the prestigious international forum “Our Family – Our Future”, dedicated to the International Day of Families.
The conference, attended by representatives from various countries, addresses pressing issues such as strengthening the institution of the family, fostering love and respect for the family among children, and its role in society.
The forum is attended by the Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Uzbekistan and Chairperson of the Committee on Family and Women, Zulaykho Mahkamova. In her speech on Uzbekistan’s state policy in this area, she emphasized that family issues are among the nation’s top priorities. The attention given to the family in building a just, open, and humane society in Uzbekistan is greater than ever. In the country’s new strategy, the family has been assigned a special social status to cultivate humanity, good manners, and positive values in individuals. This is evidenced not only by policy declarations but also by concrete actions.
According to an analysis by the World Bank, Uzbekistan has been recognized as one of the five countries that have made the most significant progress in achieving gender equality.
In her report, the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized several priority tasks to strengthen the family institution.
The report also highlighted the relationship between Uzbekistan and Türkiye. Strengthening cooperation, particularly in lifestyle and family values, is expected to yield productive results in the future.
