| Title | Government as an Instrument of Violence towards Women.The Interplay of Traditional and Nontraditional Leadership in Bukhara (Uzbekistan). |
| Summary | Women’s rights in Uzbekistan are not acknowledged by the government and not discussed in the society. There is often a huge gap between the official standards of women’s rights and everyday life in the consciousness of women. The scope of this research is to look at how the Uzbek government oppresses women’s rights by exercising its abuse in three ways:coerced sterilization, restriction of free movement and exploitation. The violence is exercised by Uzbek government with the help of the traditional institutions, such as mahalla, which adapted from a community neighborhood organization to become the government’s watchdogs. The nongovernmental women’s organizations are represented as nontraditional forces that try to fight for women’s rights in Bukhara region but without much success. As the research has shown, the traditional and authoritarian state is an obstacle for a) Women to fight for their rights b) NGO’s to establish a significant presence and influence the government’s policies |
