ANNEXES • Indicators of gender statistics • Working Papers on the themes: "Women and the Media"; "Women and the Environment" Foreword Gender equality is a priority commitment of the Kyrgyz Republic. Gender equality is enshrined in the universal human rights conventions of the United Nations, confirmed in international declarations and commitments, and emphasized on issues of peace and security in the UN Security Council resolutions. As part of the implementation of its international and national commitments, Kyrgyzstan presented four periodic reports on the implementation of CEDAW to the Committee on the UN Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. 1 To demonstrate its commitment to further progress, in 2012 the Kyrgyz Republic for the first time adopted a long-term document - the National Strategy on Gender Equality 2020, which identified priorities such as the development of women in the economic sector, education for girls and women, and access to justice and political equality.

    UZBEKISTAN & KYRGYZSTAN 2022 AUGUST 6 - 21 The capital city of Tashkent, which is the only city in Central Asia with a subway system. A remarkable journey through three UNESCO world heritage sites in Khiva, Bukhara and Samarkand. Experience eagle hunting, yurt building, and horseback riding amongst the beautiful sceneries of Kyrgyzstan. AUGUST 6 • • • Arrival into Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan. After lunch, a light 3-mile walking tour to visit Shahidlar Kotirasi Khiyoboni (victims of the repression memorial), Monument of Courage, Saylgoh Khiyoboni (earthquake memorial), the Tashkent Artists’ Street, Amir Temur Square, Independence Square and Navoi Theatre. Afterwards, we check out several subway stations. Each subway station is an original work of art, and the themed stations are among the most beautiful in the world. Welcome dinner. Overnight in Tashkent. AUGUST 7 • • • An all-day excursion within Tashkent, which is a curious blend of Islamic and Soviet influences. Visit the Old City, where we will find the Khast Imom complex, which contains the ancient holy Quran of Caliph Osman. Experience the bustling crowds of traders at Chor-Su Bazaar. Visit the Applied Arts Museum. Late in the afternoon, we transfer to the airport for our evening flight to Urgench. Stay in Khiva for 2 nights. AUGUST 8 • • • The name Khiva once struck fear into the most hardened of travelers due to the bloodcurdling cruelty practiced by its errant khans. Its location in the middle of a sunbaked-in-summer, frozen-in-winter desert and its fierce resident tribes that had a habit of enslaving people trying to cross the desert kept invaders and conquerors out for centuries.

    Afghanistan: Compilation of Country of Origin Information (COI)

    Afghanistan: Compilation of Country of Origin Information (COI) Relevant for Assessing the Availability of an Internal Flight, Relocation or Protection Alternative (IFA/IRA/IPA) to Kabul December 2019 This document provides decision-makers with relevant country of origin information (COI) for assessing the availability of an internal flight, relocation or protection alternative (IFA/IRA/IPA) in Kabul for Afghans who originate from elsewhere in Afghanistan and who have been found to have a well-founded fear of persecution in relation to their home area, or who would face a real risk of serious harm in their home area. UNHCR recalls its position that given the current security, human rights and humanitarian situation in Kabul, an IFA/IRA is generally not available in the city. See: UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Eligibility Guidelines for Assessing the International Protection Needs of Asylum-Seekers from Afghanistan, 30 August 2018, https://www.refworld.org/docid/5b8900109.html, p. 114.
