The issue of equality is more relevant now than ever. Over the past decades, the social status of women has changed throughout the world. Women are actively involved in the political, social and economic life of society.
If we talk about the situation in Kyrgyzstan, the role of women in the development of the country’s economy is playing an increasing role, since the number of women entrepreneurs is growing every year. There are more and more projects to support women and help them achieve their goals. The number of women with higher education is also slightly higher than the number of men. Despite the strong influence of traditional views and the fact that the share of the male labor force in the country is higher than that of the female labor force, the opinion that a woman should take care of the house and children, and a man should earn money, is a thing of the past.
It is important to note that Kyrgyzstan is the only country in the region where a woman was president.
Talking about the tourism sector, there are more and more women in tourism. The managers and owners of most of the guest houses and yurt camps are women, specifically women in the regions. The tourism sector supports local residents and, above all, women by helping them develop their businesses.
