Annotation: The article examines the philosophical and political foundations of the formation and development of gender policy in the Central Asian countries during the post-Soviet period. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the relationship between traditional socio-cultural values and modernization processes influencing the perception of gender roles in modern society. Through the lens of feminist, postcolonial, and traditionalist philosophy, the author explores the evolution of state policy in the field of gender equality, analyzes legislative initiatives, educational programs, and institutional practices aimed at increasing women's participation in socio-political life. On the example of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan, trends and contradictions in the implementation of gender reforms are considered. In conclusion, the necessity of a philosophical synthesis of traditional values and modern approaches to gender justice as the basis for the sustainable development of the region is substantiated.
