Women’s human rights
Aizat Ruslanova (she/her) is the Executive Director of the regional youth organization IDEA Central Asia. She is not only a civil activist but also a member of the Council for the Rights of Women and Children under the Jogorku Kenesh of the Kyrgyz Republic (the country’s parliament).
She is deeply involved in promoting women’s rights within both the formal and non-formal education sectors. Aizat has successfully implemented several initiatives that address the issues of gender-based violence against women.
One notable initiative is titled “Hands,” an innovative blend of mediums, incorporating academic art (including oil and charcoal drawings) along with audio and video elements. This multidimensional installation effectively conveys the atmosphere in which women frequently find themselves, shedding light on issues like sexism, victim-blaming and slut-shaming. Aizat’s dedication to empowering women and advocating for youth is evident through her impactful initiatives and written contributions.
“I am proud to be a human rights educator because we give young people a very cool tool to change their lives and develop their country.”
