International Consultant for training program
Background
Scientific and sociological research works play a key role in forming
professional and common legal awareness. Scientific works are based on
research, international standards studies, and analysis of acting
legislation. Each scientific work concludes with a specific summary
and proposals. Reforms recommendations, new educational courses and
publications come out as a result of scientific and sociological research.
Uzbekistan has ratified the CEDAW Convention 12 years ago, however,
neither juridical, nor political nor sociological research environment
are able to present rich, high-potential, and competent research works.
There are not many scientific research works in the sphere of
international standard studies on women's rights protection and gender
issues made by Uzbek scientists, including poor quality of these
works. In order to promote the implementation of CEDAW Committee
Recommendations in Uzbekistan it is necessary to strengthen the
scientific foundation, encourage young scientists to study problems of
protection of women's rights, study of gender issues, and practical
implementation of the norms of CEDAW Convention.
