INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS ON WOMEN'S RIGHTS PROTECTION AND GENDER EQUALITY AND THEIR SIGNIFICANCE FOR UZBEKISTAN
Abstract
This article examines the international legal framework for protecting women's rights and ensuring gender equality, focusing on its implementation in Uzbekistan. It analyzes key international instruments including CEDAW, the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, the Convention on Political Rights of Women, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The research explores how these international standards have influenced Uzbekistan's national legislation and policies on gender equality. Special attention is given to challenges in implementing these standards and potential solutions within the Uzbek context. The study reveals that while Uzbekistan has made significant progress in aligning its legislation with international standards, certain cultural and institutional barriers remain. The article concludes that effective implementation of international standards is crucial for strengthening women's rights and achieving gender equality in Uzbekistan.
