This scientific article addresses the topic “Analysis of Gaps in National Legislation on Combating Violence Against Women” and evaluates the practical effectiveness of the Republic of Uzbekistan’s Law No. O‘RQ-562 of 2019 and the 2023 amendments through statistical and normative analysis. The study identifies key gaps: a 121% increase in violence cases (over 48,300 incidents from 2020–2025), only 17.5% effectiveness of protection orders, and a 3.9% disproportion between administrative and criminal cases. A comparative legal analysis is conducted with the experiences of Kazakhstan and Turkey. The results highlight 7 systemic gaps (lack of definitions, weak enforcement mechanisms, resource shortages). Recommendations: codify psychological and economic violence in separate articles, extend protection order duration to 6 months, and increase rehabilitation centers to 300+. These reforms could reduce violence by
15–25%. The research aligns with CEDAW and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 5).
