At the committee meeting on December 23, Deputy Venera Salyamova raised the issue of the availability of crisis centers for women who have suffered from violence and receive funding from the state budget. Minister of Labor, Social Protection, and Migration Kanat Sagynbaev responded that such centers do not exist, but there are social centers.

Salyamova emphasized that in light of the increasing cases of violence, this problem needs to be addressed.

She added: "It is necessary to open crisis centers and protect women's rights."

In turn, Edil Baysalov noted that several shelters and crisis centers operate in Bishkek and other regions.

The official also reported that as part of the "16 Days Against Violence" campaign, negotiations were held with the shelters. In the current year's budget, 21 million soms have been allocated for their needs, while last year this amount was only 7 million soms. "We are ready to allocate more funds," Baysalov added.
