Legal framework ensures compliance with and monitoring of gender equality. The Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic guarantees equal rights and freedoms of men and women, equal access to opportunities and prohibits discrimination based on sex (Article 16).
This constitutional norm is ensured by the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic “About the state guarantees of the equal rights and equal opportunities for men and women” (August 4, 2008 No. 184). Article 1 of this law states that: “Gender discrimination (direct, indirect)” means that “any distinction, exception or preference which limits the rights and interests of persons on the basis of sex; it is directed to easing or deprivation of recognition, use or implementation of equality of men and women in political, economic, social, cultural, civil or any other areas of public life”.
