AKIPRESS.COM - During the Second Dialogue of Women of Central Asia in Bishkek, Vice Speaker of the Kyrgyz Parliament Jamilya Isayeva stressed the importance of the dialogue platform for discussing problems and joint solutions in the field of ensuring and enhancing women’s rights.

"Since its foundation, the Dialogue of Women of Central Asia has provided us with an opportunity to discuss and find common ground for supporting women in the region and today’s conference "Women, Peace and Security" is no exception. The second session is also chosen for a reason, as the issue of "Women, peace and security" is a key issue, which was first included on the agenda of the Security Council in 2000 when UN Security Council resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security was adopted," she said.

Isayeva referred to measures taken by the Kyrgyz Republic in this direction, stressing that national legislation provides equal rights and opportunities for women in political and public life.

"In August 2024, President Japarov signed the Law "On the amendment of some legislative acts of the Kyrgyz Republic in the field of security and protection of family from sexual and gender-based violence," she said.

The document aims to provide comprehensive assistance to survivors of violence, according to her.

Concluding her speech, the Vice Speaker of the Parliament once again stressed the desire of Kyrgyzstan to create a society, where women are actively involved in ensuring peace, security and preventing gender-based violence.
