Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Three injured girls from the Khorezm orphanage were provided with safety. This was announced by the head of the sector of the Administration of the President of Uzbekistan Saida Mirziyoyeva.

“Their safety, moral and physical recovery is now a priority. At the same time, we must create a system to respond to such cases and, most importantly, to prevent them. It’s time to toughen the laws and create norms of zero tolerance for violence. At all levels,” Saida Mirziyoyeva noted in her message on Telegram.

“The only thing that gives me hope in this whole situation is the publicity and voice of civil society, without which we would probably be blind to what is happening around,” she added.

“There has always been violence, but right now, thanks to openness, we are talking about it loudly, and we have real resources to fight it,” she said in a statement.

According to her, the declared obligations of Uzbekistan on freedom of speech and media are bearing fruit, even if all this is very painful for everyone. The system is not built in one day, it is a long way and a struggle of interests. And today the voice freely voicing problems is heard louder than ever.

“I thank all the media and activists who are not indifferent and expressed their civil position on this case. Together we are strong in creating a working system of justice,” concluded Mirziyoyeva.
