Politics

Parliamentary elections 2016 has proved that women's participation in politics still has a formal character.  

Post-election events have clearly demonstrated the crisis of content and meaning in the Georgian politics.

 “I was a candidate in mountainous Adjara, where I was told not to show up on meetings in trousers."

"Lot of man see gender-based quotas as a threat - they are afraid of their own privileges".

For the less protected nothing changes, or, the environment becomes even more hostile.

Women and other vulnarable groups do not have equal access to property rights. It happens to be a male privilege and implemeting any policy that is not gender-sensitive will be damaging especially for women. 

Program represents women as only mothers and housewivies.

Political ideology of the party is not clearly defined in the program. It is difficult to make conclusions according to the controversial economic and social statements made by the party. 

It is almost impossible for a woman politician to raise needed finances. The rules here are different, and very uncomfortable for women.
