We explain here why a 5 week abortion restriction is a bad idea and practice #Turkmenistan. We are asking the government (no contacts for public communication) and @UNFPATM @unfpaeecaro to hear us @hans_kluge @TerhiHakala @Natalia_Gherman @ippf https://t.co/RYmFIkmYdu

Byashimova, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs #uncedaw #Turkmenistan: “Where are my rights, where are my rights!” And where are the obligations that a woman must fulfill, after all?!" at the country review @UNGeneva

[Saglyk @Saglyk]

The government officials have very little knowledge of what "gender equality" is. "The national action plan" means things will stay the same with the support from intl partners paying for workshops and imitating activity #Turkmenistan @unfpaeecaro @safarov_elgun @OHCHR_CentrAsia

@unfpaeecaro & UK Embassy are enabling inaction and sustained repression by the authoritarian and patriarchal government. They both engage in newspeak, smokescreen activities to distract attention from the aggressive backlash against women &girls #Turkmenistan @UNFPAKAZ @UNFPA

None of the recommendations by @UNcedaw have been publicly acknowledged and addressed by the government of Turkmenistan https://t.co/pgLoSGO73H

In its primitive, Kafkaesque way, the government admits that there are orphans in the country. Now one of them has been named Arkadag Gurbangul gyzy. Turkmenistan has the highest number of children with disabilities in residential care @UNICEF_ECA https://t.co/Rf5nRIjTLm

The British Embassy in Ashgabat provided funding for a hotline project in Turkmenistan in collaboration with @unfpaeecaro We asked for information, data to analyze. The Embassy said that they can't share it. What's the point then? #Turkmenistan @CedawUn

The UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) has repeatedly criticized Turkmenistan's systemic, informal bans on women driving. The incompetent government has no solution other than denial https://t.co/2y01SCVw82

[Saglyk @Saglyk]

In Balkan region, a woman was asked to pay 5,000 manat to replace her driver's license. Restrictions on women's driving licenses highlight an authoritarian, patriarchal government that rules with unwritten edicts #Turkmenistan https://t.co/DZfeVuSD8M

“The CEDAW Convention is legally binding for all 189 States parties, including the countries of Central Asia. I hope that in the near future Turkmenistan, like other countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, will adopt dedicated legislation on gender-based violence against women,” Ms. Mikko emphasized, reaffirming the Committee’s role in supporting States parties in fulfilling their obligations #Turkmenistan

[Progres.online @OnlineProgres]

This is a newspeak @UNFPA that tells that it continues as business as usual in Turkmenistan with the help of international consultants "to strengthen of the gender equality promotion system". The state institutions neither have political will not administrative resources and knowledge to address state's complete neglect of women and girls #Turkmenistan is the only country in the region that sees adoption of law against domestic violence as a threat to patriarchal and authoritarian structures. The government is dragging their feet by distracting everyone and making UNFPA pay for international consultants. https://t.co/ZseuAyCGSZ

They used to do this with the @WHO, which by never pushing back allowed a personalist dictatorship to undermine the credibility of an international organization

"Everything looks good on paper" #Turkmenistan The number of people visiting hospitals has increased significantly in Turkmenabat, Lebap region. Health workers note that the problem of a shortage of oxygen cylinders in hospitals has become acute https://t.co/4218Cklwrp

[Hans Kluge @hans_kluge]

2026 is the Year of Health Protection in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) — and Turkmenistan, holding the CIS Chairmanship, has an important role in turning this political moment into practical health outcomes.

At #WHA79, I discussed this agenda with Mr Azat Ovezov, Deputy Minister of Health and Medical Industry of Turkmenistan.

The high-level events planned in October can help advance regional cooperation on universal health coverage, primary health care, health workforce and financing. I welcomed Turkmenistan’s readiness to support the formal adoption of the Central Asia Roadmap 2026–2030 during the CIS Summit.

@WHO_Europe stands ready to support Turkmenistan and all Central Asian countries in taking this work forward.

UNICEF is promoting "family values" in Turkmenistan in the context of endemic domestic violence, restricted abortion care and access. The Women's Union of Turkmenistan produces Turkmen aunt Lydias (Handmaids Tale) #Turkmenistan @CedawUn @UNICEF_ECA https://t.co/PPe2dFDMmX

[Saglyk @Saglyk]

The international organizations are enabling autocratic, misogynist state structures in Turkmenistan. The government has not issued even a single high-level policy statement to move forward on honoring its promises @CedawUn #upr https://t.co/O7ij0nOFz6

[Progres.online @OnlineProgres]

There is no sign of any progress in Turkmenistan. Hope is not a strategy. “The CEDAW Convention is legally binding for all 189 States parties, including the countries of Central Asia. I hope that in the near future Turkmenistan, like other countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, will adopt dedicated legislation on gender-based violence against women,” #Turkmenistan @OHCHR_CentrAsia @mariannemikko https://t.co/UXV9Cvtxg6

[Progres.online @OnlineProgres]

The autocratic government continues to pay lip service to gender quality, human rights. There were no high level statements on any issues raised in #cedaw #upr These meetings are smokescreen for business as usual #Turkmenistan @UNFPA @OHCHR_CentrAsia @mariannemikko

Advancing gender equality is a threat to autocratic and patriarchal regime. Inclusive, resilient Turkmen society will challenge the status quo #Turkmenistan @unfpaeecaro

[Saglyk @Saglyk]

We can safely say that more than 70% of the population does not understand or believe in gender equality. There is no public education. Every other Turkmen woman has experienced physical violence including these government officials #Turkmenistan Everyone has a story to tell.

"Advancing #GenderEquality is a social and human rights obligation. It is also a fundamental prerequisite for building inclusive, resilient & stable societies."
