GENCON NEWSLETTER (1). SPECIAL EDITION. GENDER FORUM. CHALLENGES AND CHANGES IN GENDER IN CENTRAL ASIA

Abstract

The Gender Forum 2019 brought up topics not eagerly discussed in Kazakhstan, such as gender equality, sexual education, LGBTQ population, domestic violence, women’s and girls’ human rights, and gender imbalance in representation across various sectors, as well as other relevant topics. The Forum was initiated in hopes of ensuring a safe space where interested people could be brought together to discuss gender issues, speak to each other and learn from one another’s research, practice, and insights into policy.
