Dear readers!
The most glorious period of the history of Azerbaijan falls to the
period of the rule of the
national leader Heydar Aliyev in the country. In those years Azerbaijan started democratization,
and signifi cant changes in ensuring the human rights and freedoms, in raising the national
consciousness took place.
The national leader of Azerbaijan always paid great attention to the policy of women in the
whole period of his tenure. Determination of the basic principles of the policy for women and
increasing it to the level of state policy is related to Heydar Aliyev.
After the return of Heydar Aliyev to power in Azerbaijan in 1993 by the demand of the people,
respect and attention to women, growth of their status and role in the society,
assurance of their legal
rights and interests in the country became one of the priorities of the state policy. The large-scale
activity conducted for establishing and improving the respective legal basis, increasing public and
political activity of women, their physical, moral and intellectual potentials, strengthening their
social maintenance, the activities performed
for the protection of family, women, and children, for
ensuring their employment prove it once more.
Social conditions of women are among the most important international standards which
determine the level of development of any country. Therefore, upon his return to power, Heydar
Aliyev pursued the policy of gender equality based on participation of women in all the spheres
of public and political life. Parity of rights of men and women as provided by Article 25 of the
Constitution of the Republic of Azerbaijan authored by the national leader Heydar Aliyev is an
integral element of human rights and social justice. As the parity of rights between men and women
has
been ensured in Azerbaijan, women have become an active participants of all processes in the
country from an object of social protection.
Nevertheless, this policy is being pursued in the country successively. Azerbaijan joined the
Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women in 1995. The
decrees and instructions signed by the President of Azerbaijan in those years for the assurance of
the rights of women and for increasing their role in the society were historical steps made forward.
In 1998 President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Heydar Aliyev issued a decree on the institution
of the State Committee for Women`s Problems. On the same year the First Congress of the women
of independent Azerbaijan was held on the iniative of the very national leader of Azerbaijan. It
was a confi rmation of the activization of the women movement in the country, as well as the
manifestation of the victory of the women policy of Heyda Aliyev. The Decree «On the Women
Policy» of the Republic of Azerbaijan signed by Heydar Aliyev on March 6, 2000 became an
institutional mechanism for opening all the potentials of women. The
decree signed ten years ago
is one of the most important documents in the fi eld of gender policy in the country. The decree,
which provides the increase of the role of the women in political, social, economic, cultural life of
