Appeal of the partner solidarity network "People Changing the World" of the Human Rights Movement "Bir Duino-Kyrgyzstan"
Авг 23.2021We, leaders of communities living in risk zones, including activists of border villages of Kyrgyzstan, experts and documentarians working in the format "Human Rights Through Art and Culture", lawyers and journalists, participants of the innovative seminar "Human Rights During the Period of Risks and Disasters" from 22 to 27 August 2021 at the Issyk-Kul lake, are starting to work together to analyze and assess the environment, taking into account new challenges and risks both in Kyrgyzstan and in the Central Asia region to develop strategies for preventing a humanitarian catastrophe related to the events in Afghanistan.
Emerging new risks and disasters, global changes, including armed conflicts, acts of military aggression, social disruption, demographic shifts, rapid urbanization and migration trends, as well as climate change, are radically changing our world. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exposed many internal problems in the field of civil, political, social, economic and cultural rights, which have also worsened amid the the armed conflicts in the border area of Kyrgyzstan, a high level of violence against vulnerable groups of local communities, such as women, children, people with disabilities, etc.
The situation in Afghanistan requires us, citizens of Kyrgyzstan to pay even more attention to protecting and promoting the universality of human rights and freedoms, ensuring favorable conditions for protecting the rights of refugees, especially women human rights defenders, strengthening partnership with authorities from the level of communities to the global level, creating inclusive dialogue platforms to provide citizens with access to information, involving them in civic participation in the decision-making process at all levels of government on the basis of international obligations to ensure security and promote positive reforms for development, excluding discrimination and various forms of violence.
We welcome the organization and holding of the Kurultai to support and develop new women's Leadership in Kyrgyzstan under the auspices of the Vice Speaker of the Jogorku Kenesh of the KR, Ms. Aida Kasymalieva. We support THE STATEMENT OF THE DIALOGUE OF WOMEN LEADERS OF THE CENTRAL ASIAN STATES ADOPTED AT THE ROUND TABLE "THE ROLE OF GLOBAL AND REGIONAL PLATFORMS AND COALITIONS IN ENHANCING WOMEN'S PARTICIPATION AND LEADERSHIP IN CONFLICT PREVENTION AND PEACEBUILDING", including assistance to and protection of women human rights defenders of Afghanistan, dated 29 July 2021.[i]
We will assist in the implementation of the Declaration of the Women Leaders' Dialogue, which expressed appreciation for the current positive dynamics in the area of regional cooperation, emphasized the role of women in solving global and regional problems, and expressed support for innovative policies aimed at empowering, as well as partnership between women in Central Asia.[ii]
We support the new initiative of the President of the KR, Mr. S.N. Japarov, to strengthen interregional cooperation[iii] and involve networks of solidarity and partnership for the sake of sustainable development, strengthening peace, developing democracy, ensuring the protection of human rights and freedoms, from the level of communities to the global level, promoting gender equality and gender justice, and new women's Leadership in Kyrgyzstan.
United We Stand!
