Full and real equality between men and women is an extremely important element of a fair and democratic society based on the rule of law. The holistic development of society and the enhancement of the well-being of all its members require equal opportunities for the full and equal participation of men and women.
The full and equal enjoyment of human rights by women is of the utmost importance for strengthening peace and democracy in the country. Because the number of women in our country is almost 50 per cent of the total population. That is why their intellectual-spiritual development, socio-economic and political-legal activity is very important not only for the development of our country, but also for the stability of our families [10].

In recent years, the issue of «gender equality» has risen to a completely new level in state policy, and 25 legislative acts have been adopted in this field. The commission of the Republic of Uzbekistan on issues of ensuring gender equality, the committee on issues of women and girls and gender equality was established in the Senate of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan. For the first time in the history of Uzbekistan, the number of women in the parliament has reached the level corresponding to the recommendations set by the UN, reaching almost 32%. Uzbekistan has risen to the 37th place among 190 parliaments in the world. Such results contribute to the formation of gender balance in our society, and to ensure the organizational and legal basis for equalizing the status of men and women [5].
At the same time, within the framework of implementation of the Fifth Goal of Sustainable Development, Uzbekistan developed nine tasks related to «Ensuring gender equality and expanding the rights and opportunities of all women». In accordance with the objectives of the fifth goal (Gender equality), by 2030 it is necessary to eliminate all forms of discrimination against all women, to ensure the full and effective participation of women and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision-making in political, economic and social life. In addition, this goal includes introducing the principles of gender equality in the process of adoption of State programs at different levels of the state. On the basis of this state program, many organizational and legal works have been initiated to achieve gender equality in our country, to increase the efficiency of the work started in this regard, and to obtain higher results [1].
