According to the opinion of UN experts, amidst the escalation of the environmental virus and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, people who do not have access to access to adequate food, safe drinking water, and social services increased in number by 20%, and the majority are rural women and girls. Moreover, women complete a large proportion of unpaid labor related to care and householding in rural regions. In this regard, our research is directed at poverty reduction in rural regions of Kazakhstan by developing the mechanisms against unequal access of rural women to natural, social, economic, and digital resources.
