This article explores the evolving role of women in Uzbekistan and Samarkand from 1925 to the present. It highlights the impact of Soviet policies on gender equality, which improved women’s access to education and professional opportunities. Post-independence, women have continued to advance in political and economic spheres, though challenges like gender-based violence persist. The article underscores the significant contributions of women and the ongoing need for continued efforts to promote gender equality.
