Women in Tech Uzbekistan, in partnership with Uzinfocom, officially premiered the second episode of the documentary film The Women’s Path (Ayol Yo‘li) on 7 November 2025 in Tashkent.

This new release continues the Women’s Path documentary series, which highlights the resilience, determination, and lived experiences of women in Uzbekistan — and shows how family support, mentorship, and community belief shape their journeys into technology.

Episode Two follows the real stories of three women from regions of Uzbekistan, including such cities as Fergana, Nukus, and Navoi. Their experiences reflect the diversity and potential of women contributing to the country’s digital development, as well as the importance of encouragement from those around them — parents, partners, teachers, mentors, and friends.
This project continues the mission to expand representation, amplify women’s voices, and strengthen access to opportunities across Uzbekistan’s growing tech ecosystem.

The film premiered on the big screen in Tashkent at the Youth Affairs Agency together with White Alliance — a warm and memorable evening with our heroines, their families, friends, partners, and guests. Now the film begins its journey across the regions of Uzbekistan, and beyond.
