2023
By 2025, all people in Kazakhstan are protected and enjoy full realization of human rights and gender equality and a life free from discrimination, violence and threats, and equally participate in decision-making (UNSDCF Outcome 2.1.)
The outcome has not been achieved, however, UN Women Kazakhstan made substantial progress on the outcome in 2023. The country office actively promoted the equal participation of women in all spheres of life, with particular attention to strengthening women's leadership and participation in society; involving women in solving a whole range of issues to ensure stability in communities; and empowering women in politics. UN Women’s interventions included development of a joint vision as aftermath of parliamentarian elections together with women who participated in elections, UN, diplomatic corps, and human rights mechanisms. Moreover, peaceful and constructive dialogue of women in Central Asia allowed to build the basis for regional initiatives.
Early parliamentary elections in March 2023 resulted in a 9% decline in women’s representation in the lower chamber of the Parliament. Out of 98 deputies, there were only 18 women (slightly more than 18%). In the upper house of the Parliament, the situation is slightly better: out of 50 seats, women occupy 11 (22%). Public awareness of key actors, including the Government, human rights mechanism, women activists and member of the Parliament has been raised and barriers for women and lessons learned have been identified through the dialogue organised by UN Women in cooperation with OSCE, the Commissioner for Human Rights, Dutch, and British Embassies, and the EU delegation for Kazakhstan. Moreover, 20 women leaders from 17 regions of Kazakhstan built their capacity and more actively participated in political life, as a result of the UN Women and Government’s initiative on advancing women’s leadership and political participation.

https://data.ipu.org/women-ranking?month=6&year=2023 Women activists working in the GEWE are able to bring transformative changes at the decision-making level through the Dialogue of Women of Central Asia. Although the Dialogue was initiated in 2020, in 2023 Kazakhstan expanded its participation for women activists. UN Women succeeded in bridging the vision and plans of Civil Society representatives and women-national leaders of all five Central Asian countries. As a result, a regional initiative in technology and innovation “Technowomen Central Asia” will build the capacity of women and girls in Central Asia in 2024. In addition, partners will continue deliberations on the development of the Regional action plan for implementation of UNSCR1325 “Women, Peace and Security”. Also, using the exchange of experience in the GBV area, in January 2024 Kazakhstan submitted the new draft law on combatting Gender-Based Violence to the Parliament to strengthen national legislation and provide quality support to survivors of violence.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The Ministry of Culture and Information, the National Women’s Machinery and representatives of Civil Society Organisations highly recognised the role of UN Women in organising the Dialogue of Women of Central Asia. An added value of this initiative was strong support for the strategic vision of the Heads of State of Central Asia in their concept of “One Central Asia”.
In 2023, UN Women's startegic vision was focused on women's role in national and regional political processes, their leadership skills for active engagement in political reform, including in elections. Therefore, the original strategy and ToC for this outcome are still applicable. The Country Office will continue Women’s leadership and Political Participation interventions during the implementation of the Strategic Note for 2022-2025.
