Political analyst Daniyar Ashimbayev compiled a list of Kazakh women who have made significant contributions to the country's political history, covering the Soviet era and independent Kazakhstan. The list, published in the political analyst's Telegram channel, highlights key appointments among the elite.
During the Soviet period, notable women such as Khristina Okse, Maria Kostelovskaya, Alma Urazbayeva, Nagima Arykova, and Sara Yesova held various leadership positions in the Kazakh Communist Party. These women paved the way for future generations of female leaders in Kazakhstan.
As the country transitioned to independence, women continued to play vital roles in politics. Figures like Roza Kenjetaeva, Byrganym Aitimova, and Gulshara Abdykalikova took on ministerial positions and other high-ranking roles, contributing to the nation's development and progress.
In recent years, women like Tamara Duisenova, Aida Baieva, and Elvira Azimova have assumed key positions in the government, further showcasing the importance of gender equality and female representation in Kazakhstan's political landscape.
On International Women's Day, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev extended his greetings to the women of Kazakhstan, acknowledging their significant contributions to the country's political history. The achievements of these women serve as a testament to their dedication and leadership in shaping Kazakhstan's future.
