Woman from Uzbekistan included in BBC 100 Women 2024 list
The BBC has revealed the names of the inspiring and influential women on the BBC 100 Women list for 2024, UzA reports.
The BBC 100 Women 2024 list includes Nobel Peace Prize laureate Nadia Murad, actress Sharon Stone, and Uzbek businesswoman Dilorom Yuldosheva.
Two years ago, Dilorom Yuldosheva lost both legs in an accident. But that did not stop her from dreaming big. She wanted to learn new skills while helping young Uzbek women make a living, so she set up her own sewing business.
She learned the basics of entrepreneurship and resource management and went on to train more than 40 apprentices. Within months, her company grew significantly, running free workshops and securing contracts to produce uniforms for workers and schoolchildren.
Her business has become a source of income for her and dozens of other women.
According to the Ministry of Justice, Dilorom Yuldosheva is the first participant in the social and legal project “Madad”, initiated by the Ministry of Justice. She also became the main character of the film “Matonat”.
