Protection from violence: Parliament approves amendments for child safety

The Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis adopted in the second reading a bill aimed at protecting minors from any manifestations of cruelty. For the country's residents, this means revising measures for the safety of minors and tightening state control over the conditions of their life and upbringing.

According to data from the lower house of parliament, the large-scale legal reform will affect five existing codes. Along with them, deputies will revise the norms of seven specialized laws of the republic to eliminate gaps in legislation.

The amendments are intended to enhance the legal protection of minor citizens and provide firm guarantees for the observance of their personal rights. Simultaneously, the innovations increase the personal responsibility of representatives of authorized state bodies and specialized organizations, which are obliged to respond promptly to threats.

During the discussion of the initiative, the chairperson of the Committee on the Development of Civil Society and Democratic Institutions, Gulrukh Agzamova, spoke. She noted that the act under consideration is designed to protect the dignity, honor, and freedom of the younger generation.

According to the representative of the parliamentary corps, the updated law should become a reliable shield for children's interests and increase overall vigilance in society. Ahead for the large-scale normative act project are further stages of consideration before its final entry into force.
