Participants were very impressed by presentations of business ideas by girls who are graduates of the Gulbahor industrial vocational college and by a trade fair of products made by enterprising women.

“This event held as part of the implementation of the Maternal and Child Health state programme is wide in scope,” says Sayyora Fayziyeva, deputy hokim (governor) of Tashkent Region and chairperson of the regional women’s committee.
