Uzbekistan creates system for reporting workplace harassment
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
The Agency for Management Efficiency in Uzbekistan will launch an online portal by December 1, 2026, allowing people to report harassment and violence in the workplace.
The system will first roll out across government bodies, state-owned companies, and then extend to all organizations in the country, regardless of ownership. Workers can submit complaints through the “Safe and respectful working environment” portal using online tools.
The portal will handle the entire process, from receiving reports and collecting evidence to preparing findings and tracking outcomes. It will automatically forward complaints against portal administrators or their supervisors to higher authorities. Uzbekistan designed the system to preserve investigation records and prevent deletion. If a report suggests criminal activity, the portal will direct the case to law enforcement through the 112 emergency dispatch service.
The Agency for Management Efficiency will also monitor compliance with the program and can demand corrective action from organizations that violate the rules.
