In recent years, Uzbekistan has paid special attention to the position of women in society. Various projects are being created to support womenʼs entrepreneurship and womenʼs education, trainings and much more are being held.

The IT sphere is also not left unattended – projects are being created in the country to involve girls and women in the in-demand IT industry and events are being held that are designed to show that women can also work in this area.
