Parpiboyeva, Head of the Family and Women's Committee: ‘It's time to abandon the old views, stereotypes and discrimination in our society. In this regard, it is necessary to carry out comprehensive educational propaganda in order to explain that there is a punishment in accordance with the law against the perpetrators of violence. It is necessary to create an atmosphere of intolerance towards women's oppression and violence in society, to strengthen the protection of women's rights and legal interests’.
In order to ensure the rights and interests of women and girls, to effectively implement the state policy on comprehensive strengthening of the family institution, a vertical system was created that penetrates to the lowest level.
The law created a strong system of reliable protection of the rights of women and children, prevention of violence committed against them, and measures of responsibility for such actions were strengthened.
Administrative and criminal responsibility for domestic violence was also established. The fact that Uzbekistan introduced domestic violence as a separate crime in the law was recognized by the international community.
