In Kyrgyzstan, the State Penitentiary Service launched a nail service training course for 13 women incarcerated at correctional facility No. 2 in Stepnoye.
Nurlan Sarchaev, First Deputy Chairman of the State Penitentiary Service, and Elvira Surabaldiyeva, a member of the Jogorku Kenesh (Kyrgyzstan’s parliament), attended the opening ceremony alongside representatives from international organizations.
The five-month program, developed with the Ministry of Education and the public fund “Den sooluk nuru”, combines theory and practical training to prepare the women for employment after their release. The initiative aims to give the women a marketable skill and increase their self-confidence. Kyrgyzstan’s State Penitentiary Service plans to expand vocational training to additional facilities in the 2025 to 2026 academic year.
The service intends to offer 15 in-demand specialties to 890 convicted individuals across six facilities, with training lasting from five to ten months.
