What specific problem are you solving?
"Power of beauty" Association of cosmetologists of Uzbekistan was established in 2018 as NGO to improve the professional skills and specialization of girls and women.
The lack of decent work in terms of quality and quantity of jobs affects women more than men. It is more difficult for women to find a job, often the employer does not want to hire a woman because of the obligation to pay social benefits – sick leave, child care, etc..
80% of the population of Uzbekistan prefers a man to earn money in the family, and a woman to do household chores and children. 93% of the population supports the view that a woman should perform most household duties, even if her husband does not work.
Preventing gender inequality and restrictions for women in the labor market is a challenge for us. We understand that by limiting the employment of women, who make up almost half of the country's population, we are also limiting the development of our economy.
At the same time, vocational training and employment of girls and women with disabilities is not organized and systematized, which is also one of the most pressing social and socio-economic problems in our country.
What is your solution?
- attracting 40 cosmetology specialists to organize training courses;
- organization of 3 three-month training courses in classrooms in the direction of aesthetic medicine and cosmetology;
- - organization of online training courses in the field of aesthetic medicine and cosmetology;
- creation of social networks and continuing professional development of girls and women in the courses of aesthetic medicine and cosmetology;
- attracting girls and women, including those with disabilities, to training courses;
- - creation of thematic training manuals;
- establishing business contacts with partner organizations, including by signing a Memorandum of cooperation with leading specialized training centers of Uzbekistan in cosmetology and other organizations.

Describe the core technology that powers your solution.
the project shows that we do not offer one-time assistance, so-called "ready-made fish", but give girls and women a craft - "fishing rod". the uniqueness of our technology lies in the development of intelligence and professional skills of girls. trained one girl or woman on our courses with the use of innovative technologies, she will be employed and will be able to create a small enterprise-xometological salon, which will still employ 5-10 people who can also be trained on our courses and in the future also create a new enterprise and new jobs. Thus, girls and women and their skills will be in demand and they will be able to take an active part in the development of the economy of Uzbekistan.
