Today many people in Tajikistan are perceived less educated women as naughty and not ready for family life.
This stereotype is the reason that young girls, who continue their studies, have virtually no chance to start married life. This problem is primarily concerned with distant regions and villages of the Republic. Shamigul Kholiqova, resident of Vahdat city in this case was removed from school since ninth grade by her parents. Her mother Ozoda Karimova believes that she acted properly:” I wish only happiness to my daughter. I see many beautiful and intelligent women who remained in the ranks of the unmarried and old women because they have decided to continue their studies and careers. ”
Now the situation is as follows: young girls have to choose the family or career. There is an opinion that in our days the girl of 20 year is already old. I have to choose the lesser of two evils. And I am responsible for my daughter’s life.
Unfortunately,
some parents also believe that spending money on girls’ education is
meaningless, ‘cause in Tajik family, husband is main source of income,
and woman is the keeper at home.
Often, girls after graduating are not working, so it turns out that the money which were paid for their education, have been wasted.
This bias against educated women undermines the efforts of the Tajik authorities to promote education among them.
While the Government tries to improve the situation of women, analysts say, that the authorities do not do anything to change this attitude in families.
In 1997, the Government of Tajikistan introduced a programme to support women and girls from remote mountainous areas to help them get higher education.
But according to human rights activist Nazarov Shuhrat these stereotypes still exists and the efforts of the authorities, do not give the desired results, because:
- Uneducated girl is a person, who does not know the law, cannot even fight for them, and fearing that her husband would divorce her, she is ready for everything and endures any humiliation of her rights. Of course, it is so convenient to Tajik men.
In contrast, an educated woman will always benefit from all the rights protected by the laws of the Republic of Tajikistan. Even in the case of a divorce or legal disputes educated women have the ability to claim their rights, which is not beneficial to Tajik men.
Today in the Parliament of the Republic of Tajikistan, was discussed the Bill on the prevention of domestic violence, which is directly relevant to the situation. The education of Tajik women in this Bill is treated as key to solving the problem.
