Over the last 20 years, violence against women (VAW) has been increasingly recognized as major health, human rights and development issues. The Secretary General’s In-depth Study on all forms of violence against women (A/61/122/Add.1, and Cor.1) recommends intensified action to eliminate violence against women at all levels. The General Assembly’s resolution urges United Nations (UN) entities to enhance coordination and intensify their efforts to eliminate violence against women in a more systematic, comprehensive and sustained way. It further calls upon UN entities to extend coordinated efforts to assist States in their efforts to eliminate violence against women. For this coordinated effort in assistance to States against violence against women to become a reality, a program has been initiated for 10 pilot countries including Burkina Faso and Rwanda for Africa, Jamaica in the Caribbean, Paraguay and Chile for Central America, Fiji for the Pacific, the Philippines for Asia, Jordan and Yemen for the Middle East, and Kyrgyzstan for the Central Asia. The task force will assist States through supporting comprehensive national approaches against violence against women, for example in designing and implementing national action plans and other relevant programs. Prior to this, a country assessment on violence against women is a priority. It is within this framework that this country assessment on violence against women has been undertaken. The Kyrgyzstan country assessment on VAW will emphasize the nature and extent of following issues:

§         The forms of violence that exist, who the victims and perpetrators are, and what the consequences entail;

§         The relevant policies and laws that exist;

§         The stakeholders involved and their respective capacities; challenges and gaps in addressing violence against women; and,

§         The identification of priorities for interventions. 

As of today, young people aged 11 - 24 years report about 37% of the total population in Kyrgyzstan. Poor social and economic situation in the country has made its young people especially vulnerable to HIV/AIDS. The official number of people living with HIV/AIDS in Kyrgyzstan by September 2007 was 1826, but UNAIDS estimates the real number to be at least 5-10 times higher. It is quite alarming that 52% of the registered HIV-infected are youth at the age of 15 - 29 years.
High-risk behaviour among youth aged 15-24 is characterized by an increase in STI infections such as gonorrhea (642 cases) and syphilis (640 cases); early unwanted pregnancies of girls under 18 years old (800 births per year) and about the same number of registered abortions (some 25% from repeated pregnancies). The need for comprehensive sexual and reproductive health education and youth friendly services has been acute.
Unfortunately, teenagers remain a vulnerable group, and the issue of their health maintenance and protection still has seen no settlement. Thus, healthcare reforms resulted in abolishment of services providing help to teenagers and specialized gynaecological aid to girls.
Elimination of adolescent\'s doctors caused the adolescents to be equated with common adult patients, i.e. family district doctor became a doctor to treat an adolescent, and thus young people were deprived of the right for a specific medical aid and advice.
