Abstract. The article is devoted to the current issue of women's labor migration in the context of the economic crisis in Kyrgyzstan in 1991–2021. The subject of the study is the conditions, trends and patterns of labor migration of Kyrgyz women in 1991–2021. The purpose of the work is to analyze the main parameters for describing the labor migration of Kyrgyz women over the specified period. In accordance with this goal, the article solves the problems of studying the labor migration of women in the context of the economic and socio-political transformation of Kyrgyzstan. The reduction of social services, unemployment, poverty, and violence against women had increased migration in the regions, a significant part of which was the resettlement of women. In search of a better future for themselves and their families, women chose migration as a new survival strategy. Many migrant women, out of desperation, were forced to accept working and living conditions that violated their basic rights, some of them became victims of the slave trade. For Central Asian countries, including Kyrgyzstan, the transnational women slave trade has become a relatively new phenomenon. Since human trafficking is illegal, identifying the exact number of victims of the slave trade is a challenge. Practical assistance to victims of human trafficking is provided only by non-governmental and international organizations, since due to lack of funding, State institutions cannot provide the necessary assistance. The author concludes that, despite the measures taken, the problem of human trafficking continues to worsen, as it has not yet received the necessary resonance in other countries of the world. The practical significance of the study is the main results and conclusions that will contribute to a broader understanding of the peculiarities of female labor migration in Kyrgyzstan during the transformation of society, as well as the resolution of problematic issues in this direction.
Keywords: Kyrgyzstan, women, labor migration, poverty, unemployment, transnational slave trade
