Speakers highlighted the achievements as a result of reforms in Uzbekistan and current challenges in this area. In particular, in recent years, the issue of gender equality has risen to the level of public policy, and 25 relevant laws have been adopted. For the first time in the history of Uzbekistan, the number of women in the national parliament has reached the level set by the UN. According to this indicator, Uzbekistan entered the top 50.

The seminar also provided insights into the content of the laws "On guarantees of equal rights and opportunities for women and men" and "On protection of women from oppression and violence." At the same time, special attention was paid to the issues of creating decent working and living conditions for women, their social protection, increasing their socio-economic, political and legal activity, further strengthening their place and authority in the life of the country, expanding the number of leading personnel for the account of women in the state management, turning them into an active stratum of society, ensuring equal rights and opportunities for women and men.
It was also noted that the recently conducted 15th plenary session of the Senate of the Oliy Majlis adopted a strategy for achieving gender equality in Uzbekistan until 2030, which is an important document in promoting the Beijing Declaration, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and helping to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
At the end of the training, which was rich in lively question-and-answer sessions, the women participants divided into groups on gender equality issues and strengthened their knowledge gained during the seminar-training in the form of various games and discussions.
