Abstract
In the digital era, the widespread integration of information and communication technologies has transformed how knowledge is accessed and disseminated, particularly among youth. In Uzbekistan, digital platforms—including internet resources, mobile applications, and online learning systems—are increasingly used to enhance legal literacy, a crucial component for safeguarding rights and fostering civic responsibility. Despite notable initiatives, challenges such as complex legal language, limited internet access in some regions, low youth engagement with legal topics, and insufficient awareness of data protection hinder the effectiveness of digital legal education. This study aims to analyze the role of digital platforms in improving the legal literacy of young people in Uzbekistan, highlighting advantages, existing barriers, and potential solutions. Findings show that platforms like Lex.uz, my.gov.uz, and educational portals effectively deliver up-to-date legal information, promote interactivity, and simplify complex laws using multimedia tools. Government-led projects such as “IT-towns” enhance digital and legal skills, while gamification and virtual simulations are proposed to increase engagement. The study integrates legal education with digital innovation strategies, emphasizing interactive, accessible, and youth-oriented approaches. Strengthening collaboration between government, educational institutions, and NGOs to develop simplified, interactive, and accessible digital legal education can raise legal awareness, reduce violations, and improve civic culture among youth, contributing to broader goals of state youth policy in Uzbekistan.
