In the Soviet Union, the word "Hujum" ( ; ; ) referred to a campaign by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union to remove all manifestations of gender inequality throughout the Union Republics of Central Asia. Beginning in the Stalinist era, it targeted practices that were widespread among Muslims, such as female seclusion from society, female veiling practices, and the inheritance of women as property after the death of their husbands.
