Social protection improves the quality of life and future security of residents of Bukha district

Strengthening social protection, increasing human value, and ensuring targeted solutions for every appeal have become one of the key directions of reforms being carried out in the country. Particular attention is drawn to the results of work in the Bukha district, in Ramadon mahalla, Tashkent province.

This district has 1157 families and 111 households residing, 73 of whom have disabilities. Within the comprehensive system of social services, every appeal is carefully studied, and citizens are provided with services based on their needs and circumstances.

Since the beginning of the year, over 150 appeals have been received, more than 85% of which were resolved positively. Supporting families in difficult life situations is one of the most important tasks today.

Example of Family Support

The case of Dilfuza Galieva is given as an example; her family is in a difficult situation. Her husband, Sherali Jalolov, worked in the Russian Federation for a long time, but in recent years he has hardly communicated with his family. As a result, Dilfuza was forced to raise six children alone and faced difficulties in providing them with material support.

Thanks to the social service system in the mahalla, this family receives constant support. All children in the family are fully covered by education. Additionally, food products and financial assistance are regularly provided by entrepreneurs and charitable sponsors.

Specific Types of Aid

In September 2025, the 'Sahovat va Kumak' fund provided this family with clothing and footwear. A one-time financial assistance of 1 million sums was also provided to cover electricity and natural gas expenses during the autumn-winter period. In one month, the 'Vaqf' fund provided 500 thousand sums in financial aid.

Furthermore, through the 'Inson' social services center of the Bukha district, social services and practical assistance are provided to minor family members in accordance with the law.

Results of Targeted Work

Such targeted work not only strengthens the social protection of needy families but also contributes to improving their quality of life and strengthening faith in a better future.

New norms against sexual harassment in the workplace are being introduced into the Labor Code

Deputies of the Legislative Chamber reviewed several legislative initiatives, including the adoption of norms against sexual harassment in the workplace, strengthening fines for expired food, and changing criminal case procedures.

Changes in Criminal Procedure

Deputies discussed a draft law that provides for amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code and the Law 'On Advocacy'. According to the proposal, it is now possible to submit not only an indictment or an accusation to a criminal case, but also the opinion of the defense attorney.

It is also planned to grant the defense attorney the right to present their 'opinion' within five days after the completion of the preliminary investigation or interrogation. This document may reflect objections to the accusation, evidence, circumstances mitigating punishment, as well as requests to summon certain persons to court.

Consumer Protection

The Council also considered a bill aimed at protecting consumer rights. It proposes to amend Article 178 of the Code of Administrative Liability. The goal is to increase fines for selling food products with an expired shelf life, as well as for marketing goods that require indication of the date of manufacture and shelf life without providing such information.

New Norms in the Labor Code

In addition, deputies are studying a bill concerning amendments to the Labor Code. This project aims to implement the norms of International Labour Organization Convention No. 111 into national legislation.

According to this project, the list of signs of discrimination in labor and employment will be expanded to include the concepts of 'skin color' and 'political views'. Furthermore, it is proposed to introduce a new norm into the Labor Code prohibiting sexual harassment in the workplace.

The Success Formula for Uzbekistan's Youth: Focus on Knowledge, Profession, and Technology

Uzbekistan is witnessing a clear development of conditions and opportunities for its youth, which is effectively transforming the country into a youth nation.

New Youth Governance System

Of particular note is the creation of a unique vertical system for working with youth in the country, similar to which is rare globally. This system effectively addresses issues of vocational training, employment, and social support for young people through youth leaders in local communities. The viability of this institution is also demonstrated by solving problems for 1.5 million young people through a single 'Youth Passport.'

Dialogue with the State Leader

An important aspect is the meeting with the state leader, during which the most pressing tasks for the youth support system were defined. More than 50 initiatives were put forward during this meeting to comprehensively support the younger generation. These proposals aim to find solutions to youth problems in every region and open up new opportunities.

Three Pillars of Success

It was emphasized that the modern formula for success and the solid foundation for future progress rest on three key pillars: knowledge, profession, and technology. In the context of growing global competition and active societal transformation driven by scientific and technological advancements, young people relying on knowledge, profession, and technology can achieve success. Regardless of the chosen field or direction, youth primarily need knowledge, a stable profession, and mastery of technology. In other words, through these three pillars, youth become individuals capable of realizing themselves and serving their family and country.

Goals and Development Plans

A high goal was expressed during the meeting: that every young person should have opportunities and find a worthy place in life. All initiatives proposed during the meeting with the country's youth are united around this noble goal. The implementation of an 'Ecosystem of Future Knowledge' has been planned, which will ensure employment for 500 thousand boys and girls annually. This system demonstrates that equal and broad opportunities are being created for youth, strengthening their competitiveness in the labor market and supporting the acquisition of decent jobs, regardless of their social status.

Political Responsibility

The main goal—ensuring employment for 500 thousand young people annually—places great responsibility on state bodies, particularly parliament and its deputies. It is crucial for the People's Democratic Party of Uzbekistan that the youth are qualified and constitute an active socio-economic layer of society. Therefore, the establishment of consistent parliamentary and public oversight, jointly with republican organizations and all levels of the deputy corps, has been planned. Young people who possess deep knowledge, understand modern technologies, and are masters in a specific profession lay the foundation for the stable and dynamic development of New Uzbekistan.
