Since their independence in 1991 from the Soviet Union, and suffering through a civil war that lasted from 1992 to 1997,[1] Tajikistan has had a difficult time recovering economically and structurally.[2] This economic strain has affected the family dynamic. It is now common for the men to work abroad in Russia, leaving the women to manage the land and children.[2] Up to 74% of the population live in rural areas and rely heavily on agriculture.[3] These women take on the duties of their husbands and or family members, along with their responsibilities as caretakersf.[4] In some cases the men do not return to their homes and or ask for a divorce, leaving their wife and children in a vulnerable position.[5] Tajikistan's culture is deeply patriarchal,[6] with women not attaining the same rights as men. Domestic violence has been a prevalent issue in Tajikistan.[6] Lack of education, resources, cultural norms, and government enforcement, have been factors in women not reporting these crimes.[4] Another issue is the landscape of Tajikistan: 93% of the region is mountainous.[3] The poor infrastructure and isolated villages is a contribution in the difficulty of changing the ideas surrounding genders.[7] The Tajikistan government, with help through partnerships with organizations like the United Nations and other Non Governmental Organizations have drafted several resolutions throughout the years to ameliorate these issues within their society. However, this issue still needs to be researched more deeply.[6]
