This thesis analyzes how gender stereotypes are expressed through phraseological units in Uzbek and English languages. It is demonstrated that phraseological expressions reflect historically developed gender roles in language and culture. The study examines social and cultural interpretations of male and female images, analyzing both positive and negative stereotypes with examples. Based on materials from both languages, the research reveals the extent to which these phraseological units align with or contradict modern views on gender equality. The findings have practical significance, especially in the field of linguistics and gender linguistics.
