A new project “GAP” Women IT Union was launched

On July 19, a new project “GAP” Women IT Union was launched in Tashkent.

The purpose of this project is to attract women to the field of information technology.

In recent years, the government has paid special attention to enhancing the role and authority of women in society. This can be seen in the example of the reforms being carried out in Uzbekistan.

The Ministry for Development of Information Technologies and Communications, in partnership with IT Park, initiated the project “GAP” Women IT Union, aimed at attracting women to the field of information technology.

The main objective of the club is to support women, increase their literacy in the field of IT and provide them with the opportunity for training and employment in the field of IT. The goal of the initiators of the club is to exhaust the problem of the presence of women in the IT-industry, to make IT-professions accessible and interesting for women and young girls, thereby reducing the gender gap in the IT field. Show the possibilities of the IT-sphere and support women during their job search.

The club will host events, both formal and informal, on a regular basis.

Formal: speeches of speakers, presentations, discussions.  To do this, the club will invite women as guests who have turned their ideas into successful projects.

Informal: the program will be updated every time: it can be watching movies, quest or sporting events.

Participation in the club will give women great benefits. For example, ICT training and development for women will enable them to find high-paying jobs in the future. This is especially true for women who dream of working in a schedule convenient for them and freelancers. In addition, this will allow every woman to have her own money and be financially independent.

In the future, it is planned to transform the club into a communication platform for women, where participants can exchange views, establish networking and find like-minded people for mutual cooperation.

The “GAP” club is primarily a community for women and young girls. Here they can share victories and failures, ask for advice and help each other. This is an atmosphere of growth, support and movement towards a dream.
