Bakirova also emphasized that access to justice remains a crucial task for Kyrgyzstan; however, women still face economic and cultural barriers.
To effectively combat violence in the country, a National Strategy for Gender Equality is being implemented, aimed at 2030. This strategy focuses on improving legislation and supporting women's financial independence.
The forum in New York will run until March 19, 2026, with representatives from 107 countries participating. The session focuses on strengthening access to justice for women and girls.
