As Alisher Toirov announced at a press conference held in Uzbekistan on February 20, alimony is considered one of the most painful issues in society.

Currently, 61 percent of the more than 350,000 people working with alimony payers are not officially employed.

In 2025, job fairs held in cooperation with state organizations provided jobs for more than 23,000 unemployed alimony payers.

Furthermore, in collaboration with the Ministry of Poverty Reduction and Employment, the "Employment" platform has been established, and measures are being taken to provide a job for the debtor if they do not have a permanent source of income.

In 2025, alimony payments amounting to 3.1 trillion soums were collected, and a total of 26.8 billion soums were paid to 588 collectors.

16,163 individuals evading alimony payments were held administratively liable, criminal cases were initiated against 1,283, and 13,834 families were reconciled.

Farrukh Toshpulatov announced that starting from March 2026, compulsory enforcement bureau officials will begin using body cameras. Initially, it was tested in the Piskent and Oqqo'rg'on districts of the Tashkent region.

Body cameras will be used to maintain ethical norms between officials and citizens, prevent unpleasant situations, and serve as evidence in court.

Given the high number of enforcement cases, it is planned to provide several devices to certain districts.

Body cameras will only be used in situations with a high likelihood of confrontation, such as evictions or house entries.
