November 25 was the International Day For The Elimination Of Violence Against Women<\/a> and it started 16 days of activism that concludes on December 10.<\/p>\n

Violence against women is a problem in Central Asia, and while the issue is receiving somewhat more attention, progress in combating abuse has been slow — and efforts by authorities have often been no more than superficial.<\/p>\n

On this week’s Majlis podcast, RFE\/RL’s Media-Relations Manager Muhammad Tahir moderates a discussion about what changes have and are taking place in Central Asia to address the scourge of gender violence, and some of the challenges that still lie ahead.<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s guests are: from Kazakhstan, Khalida Azhigulova, the director of the Research Center for Human Rights, Inclusion, and Civil Society and an associate professor at the Eurasian Technology University;<\/a> from Uzbekistan, Irina Matvienko, a feminist activist and founder of Nemolchi.uz<\/a>, which loosely translates as “don\u2019t remain silent” and is an organization dedicated to the prevention of violence against women and helping victims; and Bruce Pannier, the author of the Qishloq Ovozi blog.<\/p>\n
