On the occasion of International Women’s Day, which is widely celebrated in our country in honour of the women of Turkmenistan and in order to continue the noble traditions of the ancestors of honouring women, by the Decree of the President of Turkmenistan, all women and girls working at enterprises, institutions and organisations, regardless of ownership, those receiving pensions and state allowances, postgraduate, doctoral and clinical residency students out of work, students of the Academy of Public Administration under the President of Turkmenistan with a period of study of at least two years, students of higher educational establishments, schoolgirls and pupils of preschool institutions will be awarded cash gifts in the amount of 60 (sixty) manats.
This ancient tradition originated during the years of independence of Turkmenistan and is accepted with gratitude in our society. There is no other country in the world where the merits of women on International Women’s Day are so marked at the state level. And this causes pride in the respected President of Turkmenistan and in his policy aimed at establishing the high status of women in the modern Turkmen society.
