Uzbekistan26/05/2008UWED Legal Clinic provides training on labour rights to college graduates
The training was organized by UNDP project "Legal Aid and Legal Literacy for Better Access to Justice". The project is directed at improving access to justice for people who cannot afford or have limited access to legal services, including women, children, the poor, the elderly and people with disabilities and increasing quality of legal services through training of law students.
Clinicians of Legal Clinic with legal specialists and experts prepared this event, which was aimed at raising legal awareness of youth in labour rights. The topic was selected based on the fact that graduates do not have information on order, rights and obligations employees.
Students, attending the training, received information on legislation on employment, rights and obligations of employees and employers, signing of contract and other issues. Clinicians answered to various questions of attendees.
It should be noted that this was the second training, organized at the Tashkent Polytechnical College. The previous one took place a month earlier and the participants expressed huge interest. The college administration proposed to hold another similar event to meet demands of students and teachers.
