Legal Status Analysis of Orphanage Graduates: Rights Gaps and Legislative Recommendations

Year: 2016 | Language: Russian | Category: Research

Conducted by Oasis and Our Voice, funded by USAID and the Department for International Development of the UK, this analysis examines Kyrgyz legislation across eight domains – housing, education, social security, healthcare, employment, legal aid, voting rights, and judicial protection – to identify where the law fails graduates of children’s social institutions. The document systematically identifies declarative norms that carry no enforceable obligations, gaps in the legal definition of “graduate,” and the absence of any unified tracking system for care leavers. Each section concludes with specific legislative recommendations. The analysis served as the legal backbone for Oasis’s subsequent advocacy work and informed the content of later practitioner guides.
