Gender Aspects in the Civil Service of the Republic of Tajikistan: Issues and Solutions

Abstract

This article analyses gender aspects within the civil service of the Republic of Tajikistan, exploring the challenges faced by Tajik women and putting forward potential solutions. Despite progress in gender equality, women continue to encounter obstacles rooted in gender stereotypes, family traditions, and limitations on career advancement. Inequality persists within the civil service, particularly regarding the appointment of women to senior government positions, despite targeted efforts by the Tajik Government through gender-focused legislation. The country remains committed to addressing gender issues and consistently implements policies to improve the situation, including the development of gender-oriented programmes and comprehensive support for marginalised groups. To overcome these barriers, continued efforts in education, legal regulation, and cultural transformation are crucial. This article offers recommendations for addressing existing problems and improving the circumstances of women, youth, and other marginalised groups within the civil service.
