Ambassador Henick: Today I stopped by the Bukhara branch of the Businesswomen’s Association to learn about its work to protect and support the rights of women entrepreneurs in Uzbekistan. In 2021, this NGO was awarded a Democracy Commission grant, allowing it to create professional training centers for youth and women in the Bukhara region. This funding provided vocational instruction to over 700 women and girls and equipped them with the skills and knowledge to launch and manage their own business ventures.
