Including Gender Equality in Regulatory Documents on Climate Change

Abstract

Women play an important role in agriculture. The number of female-headed households in rural areas is also increasing as more men migrate to cities and other countries in search of work. Increasing access to them will help rural women increase economic opportunity and productivity, contribute to the food security of their countries, and improve the living standards of their families. In Uzbekistan, a number of measures are being taken in this direction by the state and the private sector in order to create favorable conditions for the development of women's entrepreneurship in rural areas.
