AB - In November 2023, Kazakhstna’s former economy minister murdered his wife in violent attack, which shocked the nation. President Tokayev amended the law on “violence against children and women” in April 2024, increasing sentencing guidelines to strongly demonstrate his commitment to protecting women’s and children’s rights. Kazakhstan has inherited the traditions of the former Soviet Union and nomadic societies that value women’s labor, and has adopted secular Islam, so women’s human rights are relatively high compared to other Central Asian countries. Since gaining independence in 1991, Kazakhstan has also attempted to enhance the rights of vulnerable groups, including women and children, through consistent national support, achieving some success. However, the remnants of gender inequality in housework that even the former USSR fail to resolve and the Islamic traditions of male superiority prevail, so true gender equality remains elusive. This disparity is evident in various gender-related indicators, including ① the significantly lower number of women politicians and ② senior managers in government compared to men. Pursuing gender equality, the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan has implemented multiple policies and set a target to increase the proportion of women senior managers in the executive branch to 30% by 2030. Achieving this target requires robust policy support, including public education initiatives, increased certification of women- and child-friendly cities, enhanced gender impact assessments, and the diversification of social programs.
