INTRODUCTION:
Gender equality is one of the key
conditions for building a democratic society and serves
as the basis for ensuring human rights and freedoms.
The Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan
stipulates that men and women have equal rights. In
recent years, large-scale reforms have been carried out
in our country to ensure gender equality. In particular,
the Law “On Guarantees of Equal Rights and
Opportunities for Women and Men” strengthened the
legal foundations for ensuring gender equality.
Nevertheless, cases of gender inequality still persist in
society. This article is devoted to analyzing the
necessity of improving the organizational-legal and
moral-ethical foundations for establishing gender
equality in Uzbekistan. The paper reviews existing
problems in ensuring gender equality, ways to address
them, and proposals for improvement.

METHOD
Numerous studies have been conducted on gender
equality issues, examining various aspects of the
problem. In particular, Kh. Ochilov, in his monograph
“Gender Policy: The Experience of Uzbekistan”,
analyzes the formation and development of gender
policy in Uzbekistan. According to the author,
improving the legislative framework plays a crucial role
in
ensuring
gender
equality
in
Uzbekistan.
Furthermore, G. Ismailova, in her article “Socio
-
Economic Factors of Ensuring Gender Equality in
Uz
bekistan”, reveals the socio
-economic causes of
gender inequality. She emphasizes that increasing
women’s economic activity and expanding their
opportunities in the labor market is a vital factor in
ensuring gender equality. In addition, the “National
Repo
rt on Gender Equality in Uzbekistan”, published by
the UN Office in Uzbekistan, analyzes the achievements
and existing challenges in the country regarding gender
equality. The report particularly highlights the need to
ensure gender equality in education, healthcare, and
political participation.
DISCUSSION
The results of this study show that significant progress
has been made in ensuring gender equality in
Uzbekistan. In particular, the improvement of the
legislative framework and the attention given to gender
issues at the state policy level represent important
steps forward. However, as revealed in the course of
the study, problems such as gender stereotypes and the
low level of women’s economic activity continue to
hinder the achievement of gender equality. The
findings correspond with Kh. Ochilov’s conclusion
about the necessity of improving gender policy in
Uzbekistan. Moreover, G. Ismailova’s view that
expanding women’s economic opportunities is a crucial
factor in ensuring gender equality has also been
confirmed in this study. The UN Office’s report in
Uzbekistan also emphasized the need to ensure gender
equality in education and political participation, which
aligns with the findings of this research. At the same
time, the study results indicate the necessity of further
improving the organizational-legal and moral-ethical
foundations for ensuring gender equality. In particular,
it is essential to strengthen measures aimed at
combating gender stereotypes, increasing women’s
economic and political activity, and preventing
domestic violence. These findings may serve as a
foundation for future research on gender equality
issues. Specifically, it is important to study more deeply
the impact of gender stereotypes on society, as well as
to identify the role of non-governmental organizations
and civil society in ensuring gender equality.
RESULTS
Although the legislative framework for ensuring gender
equality in Uzbekistan has been significantly improved,
the full implementation of existing laws has not been
ensured. Gender stereotypes still persist in society,
which limits women’s social and economic activity.
Women’s opportunities in the labor market remain
more restricted compared to men, which is reflected in
wage disparities and positions held. Women’s
participation in political parties and state governance
bodies is insufficient. Cases of domestic violence
remain a serious problem of gender inequality. The
moral-ethical foundations for ensuring gender equality
are not sufficiently developed, which hinders the
creation of an environment of tolerance and respect in
society. These findings indicate that much more needs
to be done to ensure gender equality. In the future, it is
necessary to develop and implement measures aimed
at addressing these problems.
CONCLUSION
This study has demonstrated the necessity of improving
the organizational-legal and moral-ethical foundations
for ensuring gender equality in Uzbekistan. According
to the research findings, while certain achievements
have been made in this area, unresolved issues still
remain. In this regard, the following recommendations
can be made: ensure the full implementation of existing
laws; conduct large-scale awareness campaigns to
combat gender stereotypes; develop and implement
programs aimed at increasing
women’s economic and
political activity; strengthen measures to prevent
domestic violence; and support projects focused on
developing the moral-ethical foundations of gender
equality. In conclusion, much work remains to be done
to ensure gender equality in Uzbekistan. In the future,
it is essential to study more deeply the causes and
consequences of gender inequality and to develop
effective policies and programs to address these
problems. Through the joint efforts of researchers,
state institutions, and the public, it will be possible to
achieve gender equality and ensure the sustainable
development of society.
