During an informal discussion, the representatives from Uzbekistan presented the initiatives that are now successfully leading to more women enrolling in higher education in Uzbekistan, entering professions that previously had a male connotation and modernizing traditional role models. Together with researchers from ISDP, and representatives of civil society and universities, questions and ideas were exchanged. We are grateful for the lively dialog and look forward to further discussions!
