Official festivals Uzbekistan

In Uzbekistan women are celebrated on March 8, as elsewhere in the world. In Central Asia, this celebration has a particular connotation because, if women had the right to social equality during the Soviet period, rubbing shoulders with men on the benches of the University and receiving the same salaries, the return of Islam after independence has led, especially in the provinces, to a certain regression of the status of women. A tendency observable in all Central Asia. This commemorative day allows us not to forget their struggle.
