Gift for a “report”

Who is our strength enough for, or rather, who is your strength enough for? Unfortunately, those who work for a meager salary and strive to provide for their children honestly, who work tirelessly in both cold and heat, who have calloused hands and are as old as your mother?

We are wonderful people, we love to do everything for someone’s eyes. No matter where we go, no matter who we follow, everyone is busy with a photo “report.” A similar thing happened on the eve of March 8—International Women's Day.

In Tashkent, a landscaping worker was invited to a holiday and honored. The thing is that the employees of the Yashnabad district landscaping department were invited to a holiday event on March 8—International Women’s Day—and they took back the gift that was given to them. When the woman was taking the gift that was given to her, she was accused of stealing it.

“Please don’t call me back, they’ve been doing this for two years, I don’t need anyone’s charity,” the woman says.

After this video went viral on social media and officials began to face criticism, the Yashnabad district administration announced that an investigation had been ordered into the incident and appropriate measures had been taken against the person who took the gifts from the woman.

On March 8, the occasion of International Women’s Day, a video was posted on social media showing Tashkent City Deputy Mayor Shahnoza Sultonova, Yashnabad District Mayor Bakhtiyor Rahmonkulov, and district officials visiting the home of a landscaping worker, congratulating her on the holiday, and handing her souvenirs.

“With good intentions, we gathered 320 women who work in landscaping in one place and organized a beautiful event before the holiday. In the end, someone upset you. That’s why I came to cheer you up. Whoever did this to you, we will find him,” said the district governor.

Of course, it is good that the district governor personally went to cheer up the woman, but they went to see her only because she could speak. If you pay attention to what she said earlier, the woman mentioned that this situation had been going on for two years. Can you imagine how many landscaping workers were photographed with gifts and had their gifts taken from them?

We often meet landscaping workers during filming. When we ask them to tell us about their problems and the difficulties of their work, we get a negative answer. When we turn off the camera and ask why they aren’t speaking, they say,

“Even if there is a small amount of money behind this work, my pot is boiling. If I talk now, they’ll fire me.”
