Samarkand, November 19, 2023 – The Women Development Organization (WDO) is holding an international women’s forum on “The Experience of Uzbekistan and Member States of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in supporting Women” in collaboration with The Committee of Family and Women in Uzbekistan.
The international forum will take place between the 22nd and 23rd of November, 2023, in the city of Samarkand, Republic of Uzbekistan. It will see participation from representatives of the government of the Republic of Uzbekistan in addition to leaders from WDO and OIC member states.
The forum will feature several sessions that will highlight how different OIC countries support women to share experiences and best practices and augment cooperation opportunities.
The sessions will tackle a variety of topics including protecting the rights and legal interests of women, expanding their educational opportunities, ensuring their employment, supporting their entrepreneurship, and solving their social problems. They will also discuss the preservation of family values and the strengthening of the family institution in the process of globalization.
It should be noted that this fruitful collaboration comes following a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that was signed in May of 2023 between WDO and Uzbekistan’s Committee of Family and Women to strengthen their cooperation efforts in their shared goal of supporting and empowering women and girls. Moreover, WDO’s Executive Director, H.E. Dr. Afnan Alshuaiby, gave a keynote speech during the “Uzbekistan’s Experience in Supporting Women Forum” in July 2023, in Tashkent, Republic of Uzbekistan.
