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.
