Gender equality
In order to enhance the effectiveness of women's activities within the Ministry, a "Women's Club" has been established. Various seminars, trainings, and roundtable discussions with psychologists, who are active and experienced professionals in their field, are held within this club. Thus, practical assistance is provided to women in addressing a multitude of current issues and challenges.
To improve women's quality of life and provide them with cultural leisure activities, various events have been and continue to be organized in recreational centers.
To date, 38 women are actively working in the central office of the Ministry of Investment, Industry and Trade. Of these, 12 hold senior positions, including 4 heads of departments and 8 heads of divisions. This fact reflects the Ministry's targeted policy of promoting gender equality and creating conditions for women's professional development.
The Ministry is constantly working to strengthen the position of women in labor collectives, providing them not only with equal opportunities but also with comprehensive social support. In 2024, 7 new female employees were hired, which underscores the Ministry's commitment to actively involve women in key processes of the Ministry.
In addition, flexible working hours have been introduced for female employees to enable them to effectively combine professional responsibilities with family responsibilities. This move is aimed at ensuring that work does not conflict with personal responsibilities, but rather promotes a harmonious balance between career and family life.
The Ministry continues to work to improve working conditions for women by introducing initiatives that support their development, strengthen social protection and provide more opportunities for career advancement.
