Mustaqillikka erishgandan so‘ng O‘zbekiston aholisi o‘z fuqarolik huquqlaridan Konstitutsiya qabul qilingandan keyingina foydalana oldi. Bu o‘zbek xalqi uchun shunday muhim siyosiy voqea bo‘ldiki, 1992-yilda 8 dekabr Konstitutsiya kuni, har yili umumxalq bayrami sifatida e’lon qilindi.

Oʻzbekiston milliy bayramlari taqvimida ham 9-may kuni nishonlanadigan Xotira kuni bor. Shu kuni Vatan ozodligi uchun jon fido qilgan, Ikkinchi jahon urushida mardonavor kurashgan, fashistik Germaniya ustidan qozonilgan g‘alaba yo‘lida Vatan frontida fidokorona mehnat qilgan barcha O‘zbekiston fuqarolari yodga olinadi. O‘zbekistonda 8-mart Xalqaro xotin-qizlar kuni sifatida nishonlanadi. Shu kuni har xil yoshdagi va har qanday maqomdagi erkaklar ayollarga o'zlarining sevgi va hurmatlarini bildiradilar, ularga gullar va sovg'alar beradilar. 1-oktabr umumxalq oʻqituvchilari kuni sifatida nishonlanadi.
