President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev congratulated women on International
Women’s Day during a ceremonial meeting at the Akorda presidential palace. He
expressed his gratitude for their contributions to society and emphasized their
vital role in preserving family values, national traditions, and raising future
generations. The Head of State also highlighted that Kazakh women have
demonstrated heroism, strength of spirit, and patriotism throughout history.
Among them are the glorious rulers Tomiris and Bopai Khanum, the legendary
mothers Domalak Ana, Zere, and Ulpan, as well as the heroic daughters of the
Great Steppe - Aliya, Manshuk, and Khiuaz. Their names are inscribed in golden
letters in the chronicles of the country’s history.
«By raising a new generation of Kazakh citizens with sharp
intellects and clear minds, you contribute to the progress of our country. Many
of the nation’s achievements are the result of the hard work of our remarkable
girls and women. Today, at the Akorda palace, we honour women who are highly
skilled professionals in various fields and make valuable contributions to the
country’s development. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of
you!» Tokayev said.
The Head of State emphasized that the well-being of women
and children is directly linked to the country’s future. The state pays special
attention to protecting and comprehensively supporting women. Family support
centers are being established, and a national support model for mothers with
many children is being developed. These measures are already yielding results,
as the number of large families in Kazakhstan is on the rise. President Tokayev
noted that today women are actively working in various fields. They make up
more than half of the country’s civil servants, as well as 70% of employees in
the education and healthcare sectors. Many Kazakh women hold key positions in
business, the military, and law enforcement agencies. Female athletes proudly
represent the country on the international stage.
«Creative energy and determination help you bring the
boldest ideas to life. You demonstrate a strong civic stance and genuine
engagement in social activities, implementing important initiatives and
socially significant projects that benefit the people. You approach every task
with responsibility and always strive for positive results,» Tokayev added.
At the conclusion of the event, the Head of State presented
state awards to women who have made a significant contribution to the country’s
development. For the first time, the titles of ‘Honored Builder of Kazakhstan’
and ‘Honored Industrial Worker of Kazakhstan’ were awarded.
