Аннотация

аfter gaining sovereignty, the Republic of Kazakhstan pays close attention to the problem of ensuring women’s rights. The ongoing processes of the democratization of our society, socio-cultural and political transformations in the CIS countries have created both new opportunities and certain obstacles to achieving gender equality. From the point of view of the international law, gender policy has the interest as theory of gender equality that underlies the women’s liberation movement. Already in the late 70-th in the twentieth century, feminist movements in the civilized countries of Europe became widespread. Feminism, inspired by socialist ideals, has its main goal as the fight against all forms of exploitation, including the exploitation of women, understood in the broad sense. Now an important and necessary condition for building the democratic state, governed by the rule of law, is the formation and development of sustainable non-governmental sector that will ensure, along with state bodies, the free and real participation of the citizens in decision-making and management of social processes, thereby strengthening civil society. It is an axiom that women’s non-governmental organizations play the special role in the development of the civil society; today they are the real social force that can influence the legal policy of our country. In this regard, we need strong international legal framework and stable legislation that allows women’s organizations to develop independently and participate in the political life of the state, society and the world community.
