Text of Note

This research project assesses the Soviet campaign to emancipate Muslim women of Central Asia, with a specific focus on women in Tajikistan from 1924 to 1982. In 1924, the Bolshevik regime began an unprecedented campaign to forcibly emancipate the Muslim women of Tajikistan. The reforms included the unveiling of women, the enactment of progressive family code laws, and the expansion of education for Muslim girls and women of Tajikistan who are ethically Tajik and Uzbek. By the 1950s, the Soviet regime largely succeeded in putting an end to veiling, child marriage, polygamy, and bride payments. Yet today we see a resurgence in practices the Bolsheviks claimed to have eliminated. This study explains why these reforms failed to have a long-lasting impact on rural and urban women of Tajikistan.
