Books “Family Encyclopedia” and “Encyclopedia for Women” presented

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) - A presentation of the books “Family Encyclopedia” and “Encyclopedia for Women” took place at the Agency of Information and Mass Communications.

“Such encyclopedias, containing relevant material that can help in various everyday situations, play a very important role in shaping the skills of family life, in instilling responsibility among young people,” said the director of the Scientific and Practical Research Center Oila under the Cabinet of Ministers Dilorom Toshmukhamedova. “These books should be accessible to all makhallas.”

“Encyclopaedias are intended for a certain age readership (16+), which is clearly indicated by the marking. This is due to the fact that for a proper perception of the material presented, a certain intellectual level and preparation is necessary, ”said Mukarram Nurmatova, deputy chairperson of the Women’s Committee. - The encyclopedia is not only informational, but also educational. Popularization of such books helps to strengthen family relationships and prevent situations that may cause divorce. The situation in this area is currently very ambiguous. And despite the fact that the number of divorces in Uzbekistan is relatively small compared with other countries, this issue nevertheless requires close attention and study. ”

 “Speaking of divorces, it is wrong to compare the figures in our country with European countries and reassure ourselves that their number is less,” said family expert Jamilya Shermuhamedova. - This is not constructive and can lead to a worsening of the situation. Therefore, I very much agree that the topic cannot be hushed up. We must study and analyze the root causes leading to the breakup of a family in order to take effective measures. In Uzbekistan, the family is based on national values and Eastern culture. And I think that such literature aimed at their popularization, the cultivation of spirituality should be more. Therefore, I also propose to create an “Encyclopedia for Men”. It is necessary to raise the status of fathers in raising children and men in the family. "

"It is necessary to take into account the psychological factor. No matter how wonderful and useful the book was, but if the title contains ‘for women’, the man is unlikely to read it. That is why it is necessary to create special books for the male target audience. After all, preserving the family is mutual work, both women and men. Young people must, from the very childhood, be aware of their duties first of a son, and later of a husband and father,” the expert noted.
