Gender equality, New Uzbekistan, Legislative reform, Mahalla system, Educational incentives.Abstract
This paper analyzes the conceptual framework and practical mechanisms of gender policy in the context of building a "New Uzbekistan," emphasizing the unique synthesis of universal democratic principles with national values. It evaluates key legislative advancements—including the 2019 Gender Equality Law and Article 58 of the new Constitution—alongside grassroots institutional structures like the Mahalla system and the "Wise Women" movement. Finally, the study highlights state-funded educational incentives for female students as a primary catalyst for developing a new generation of intellectual and socially active female leaders.
