This article analyzes the opportunities for developing women's leadership in New Uzbekistan and studies the factors influencing women's aspiration to leadership positions. The results of the study showed that although the country has created a legal framework to ensure gender equality, their practical results are not sufficiently effective. The main factors hindering women's leadership are identified as lack of economic independence, gender stereotypes, insufficient education and mentoring programs, as well as poor implementation of state policies. The results of this article serve as a scientific basis for a deeper study of the reforms being carried out in the field of women's leadership and the development of an effective model that is suitable for the conditions of Uzbekistan.References
