The Senate has requested a report from the Prime Minister on the operation of the registry of individuals convicted of child abuse

Malika Kadirkhanova, Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Youth, Women, Culture, and Sports, has sent a parliamentary inquiry to Prime Minister Abdulla Aripov regarding the effectiveness of the special registry of individuals who have committed crimes against health, sexual freedom, family, youth, and morality.

In her inquiry, the senator requested clarification on how actively public and private organizations working with minors request data from this database when hiring employees, and what the outcomes of such checks have been.

In addition, the inquiry addresses questions regarding the current employment status of citizens included in the registry, as well as the measures being taken to eliminate systemic failures in exercising control.

The need for the parliamentary inquiry is driven by practical difficulties faced by employers when vetting candidates and complying with legally established restrictions. The ban preventing individuals with such a criminal record from holding positions in educational, upbringing, health, and sports institutions was legally enacted on April 11, 2023.

Further improvement of this mechanism is outlined in the Road Map under the presidential decree of March 3, 2026, which aims to ensure unimpeded access for children's organizations to the registry's data and to systematically strengthen the protection of children's rights.
