What if women in Uzbekistan had no gender limitations | Laylo Juraeva | TEDxYouth@TashkentIntlSchool

Описание: A powerful talk about personal experiences related to what it is like to be an Uzbek female in a traditional society, where girls are groomed to be tender, feminine, decent, and encouraged to marry young. Laylo mentions that while the Uzbek government gives equal opportunity to women to pursue their dreams, the unwritten codes of conduct and social assumptions diminish the role of women in the Uzbek society. She challenges the current gender limitations and encourages other girls to do so in order to follow their own dreams and paths. She is proud of having found the strength to share this sensitive topic with all of us. Hey! My name is Laylo and I’m originally from Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Whereas Uzbek is my mother language I’m also fluent in Russian and English. I am passionate about composing music, singing and playing piano.

I tried out for TEDxYouth because I have a message that I always wanted to share with other people. I want to share a series of short personal stories that have shaped my personal understanding of women’s role in the local society. I tried out for TEDxYouth because I didn’t want to give up such a great opportunity to express my thoughts and ideas about what it is like to be an Uzbek female. This topic is very sensitive for me and I'm glad that I found enough strength to share it with others. I think the my idea is worth of spreading because it links to the theme of gender roles that is being discussed all over the world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
