At the initiative of the President of the country Kassym-Jomart Kemelevich Tokayev, in April this year, a law was adopted to strengthen the protection of the rights of women and children. Therefore, the Senate of the Parliament of Kazakhstan took the initiative to develop an appropriate model law for the CIS countries.
