Practical Application of Axiological Approaches in Enhancing Women's Social Activity in Uzbekistan
Main Article Content
Abstract
The advancement of gender equality and women's social engagement has become a central socio-political priority in Uzbekistan's post-independence development, supported by extensive legal and institutional reforms. Despite the adoption of laws and the establishment of gender-focused institutions, societal attitudes and values toward women continue to reflect traditional norms, indicating the necessity of complementary philosophical approaches. While organizational and legal frameworks are well documented, the role and practical application of axiological (value-based) approaches in enhancing women’s social activity remain underexplored, particularly in the context of Uzbekistan. This study aims to investigate the philosophical and methodological foundations of the axiological approach and assess its impact on increasing women's participation in Uzbekistan’s social, political, and cultural spheres. The findings indicate that integrating axiological strategies—such as value-oriented education, the promotion of leadership values, and the representation of role models—has significantly contributed to raising awareness, self-confidence, and public engagement among women. Legal instruments like the Gender Equality Law and national initiatives such as the Women’s Register and Girls’ Academy further reinforce these values. The research presents a nuanced analysis of the axiological approach as a complement to legal reforms, emphasizing internal value transformation alongside external support mechanisms for women's empowerment. This study provides practical insights for policymakers and educators seeking to institutionalize value-based strategies in education and social policy, thereby fostering sustainable gender equality and active citizenship among women in Uzbekistan.
