PROTECTION OF THE RIGHTS OF CONVICTED WOMEN

This article examines the state of the rights of convicted women. The Institution of the Commissioner for Human Rights has become an important mechanism in the concept of protecting women's rights. The article emphasizes that despite the formation of this state law enforcement institution as an important step towards deepening democracy in Kazakhstan, despite all the aspirations of the state, women are still subjected to violence in domestic and other situations. Aggression in the family remains a problem related to impunity, insufficient initiative of law enforcement agencies, and tolerance of society to acts of coercion against women, and the situation of women in Kazakhstan requires real support and gender correction. It should also be noted that the sources of international human rights standards are articles of international treaties, resolutions of international organizations, political agreements, documents of Confederation and meetings, and international customs. The peculiarity of international human rights standards is that almost all of them appear in the form of written law. In the field of human rights protection, customary norms are formed through the general recognition and application of norms enshrined in treaties or resolutions of international organizations.

The purpose of the article is to identify the factors influencing the observance of the rights of women convicted in Kazakhstan and to develop practical recommendations aimed at protecting and ensuring women's rights.

The long-term activities of the United Nations show that international human rights protection consists of the development of universal recommendations in the field of human rights protection and a special mechanism to verify the fulfillment by States of their international obligations in the field of human rights, the development of international human rights agreements imposing legal obligations on States.
