The Central Asian region has been shocked by the armed conflict between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. IWPR CA has published an address to a wide range of stakeholders with a call to keep to ethical standards and principles of bona fide journalism in these hard times.
The recurring theme of our analytical work has become the war in Ukraine, its consequences for the regional economy, as well as social and political, demographic, and security transformations that will have an impact on the region in the future.
Another relevant topic of analytical reports has become the subject of growing pressure on journalists and bloggers in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.

Expert meetings
The IWPR in Central Asia held an expert offline meeting in Tajikistan on September 30 "Gender Equality Development in Tajikistan: Achievements and Challenges". The meeting participants were representatives of public and international organisations engaged in women's and girls' rights protection, activists of feminist movement in Tajikistan, journalists.
All female participants of the expert meeting shared the opinion that it was very difficult to promote gender equality issues in Tajikistan because the patriarchal society, which the country returned to after gaining independence, had no understanding of gender equality, including at the top level, according to female activists.

Tajikistan has no feminist movement at all. Every time we start talking about feminism we face much hate on social media and in real life.

What is Go Viral?
Go Viral Festival & Network: Go Viral is a regional initiative inspired by the SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas, that creates, facilitates, and sustains connections amongst regional influencers, innovators, and creative people to share ideas, help achieve their goals, and solve problems important to them and their communities. Go Viral is both a Festival and a series of events that includes keynote talks, workshops, panel discussions, films, music, and other activities in Media, Business, Culture, and Technology from leading trendsetters from the United States, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe.
Go Viral hosts small events not only in Kazakhstan but also in other Central Asian countries throughout a year. The three-day Go Viral Festival takes place annually in Almaty, Kazakhstan and has been uniting leading thinkers and innovators from Kazakhstan, Central Asia, Eastern Europe, and the United States in the fields of media, culture, business, and technology since 2017. The Go Viral network today consists of more than 5500 people including journalists, entrepreneurs, creative industries workers, civil society activists, and professionals from various fields who want to exchange experiences, ideas, and inspiration and be charged with positive energy for creating new projects and collaborations across the borders.
Go Viral is a project sponsored and supported by the United States Department of State and implemented in partnership with the Institute for War and Peace Reporting Central Asia. It provides people an opportunity to invent, create, promote their content, inform, entertain, and successfully interact with global audiences through social networks and new platforms using new technologies. The festival facilitates networking; inspires innovative ideas and creative collaborative projects; increases the visibility of local entrepreneurs; promotes cooperation across cultures and industries.
