Munayshy
Kyz 2019

On the  8th of March  2018, on the  eve of the International Women’s Day, the Women’s club “Munayshy Kyz” has been established in JointStock Company Embamunaigas.

The  purpose of the  Women’s club “Munayshy Kyz” creation is to give the possibility for the full development of Emba inhabitants, women-oilers, to provide them with the psychological, medical and legal advice according to their needs. In this regard, in all the  departments of the  company the club members regularly carry out the training, workshops and other public events with educational meaning. Below are briefly presented some of events organized by this club members and which have had the positive effect.

In March  2019, in honor of the  Women’s club “Munayshy Kyz” creation anniversary, was carried out the  Mobile Meeting of the  Energetic club KAZENERGY on the  topic “Role of women in the Oil-gas industry”. The active girls and women who work in the Electric power branch of the Oiland-Gas industry of our country, participated in
this Mobile Meeting, conducted with the  aim of the experience sharing in the field of gender politics development in the oil and gas companies. The main point of the agenda was the joint work revival. The advanced enterprises of our country, in particular, KAZENERGY Association, Khalyk Bank, Tengizchevroil, NCOC, Atyrau Oil refinery, “Karazhanbasmunai”, “Mangystaumunaigaz”, “Kazgermunai”, Atyrau Regional Association of Business women, Atyrau Regional Akimat and the delegations from other enterprises took part in the Forum. In the course of the Forum were raised and widely debated the questions of the family values revival, education of the new generations. One may state that, the  Forum, in fact, turned into the  open dialogue arena where the  true debates started. The  practical advice, necessary for the full development of the human personality, combination of the  labor and family unity on the way toward the family prosperity preservation of the women-oilers, who make to date near 20 percent of the crew, was expressed.

One more event, organized by the club “Munayshy Kyz”, is the  large-scale interview with writer Zeynep Akhmetova, who widely promulgates among the  general public the  path of life of the valiant son of the Kazakh people, Bauyrzhan Momyshuly, and who popularizes the customs and traditions of Kazakhs. In the basis of the meeting conducted by the  crew of six departments of the  Company, were the  frank talks concerning the questions of the national ideology, education of the  generations, interrelation of the  spouses and others. The writer tried to answer at the most openly and constructively to the  questions of the  women-oilers. Also was raised the  subject of the  women-oilers activity increasing in our society, job ladder promotion of the  talented and educated girls due to their productive labor, conception of the responsible generation out of the successful women by means of the women activity increasing in the private life and social life and many-many other things.

Alongside with that, it should be specifically mentioned the  carrying out within the  Emba enterprise territory, of the  events dedicated to the 80-year jubilee of poetess Fariza Ongarsynova, the  celebrated “Kazakh poetry Tsarina”. When the event in the honor of the poetess memory, may be said, that the Emba employees rised to the  occasion. Seeing the  completely different nature of the oilers, Emba enterprise employees, that they could show at this event, we once again became convinced that there were a lot of the  talented people in the  Emba enterprise. The event winners, distinguished by their talent, were given the  opportunity to attend the  play “Fariza” performed in Moscow with the support of the  RK Embassy. This will undoubtedly give the  special breakthrough to the  labor of our specialists who constantly work in the  field conditions.

Embamunaigas will continue to give support to the  Women’s club “Munayshy Kyz” activity at the  appropriate level. Suporting the  womenoilers, the  Company makes its contribution, however insignificant, to the  generations education and family values preservation, because the responsible generation could be conceived only from the successful woman. And the responsible generation is the future of our country. The family prosperity entails the productive labor. This must not be forgotten.
