What political parties promise us, what are their pre-election programs, how far gender balance is kept in election lists – these topics were discussed by representatives of different political parties (New Rights, Republicans, Christian-democrats) gathered at the meeting of Club of Women-Voters in Kutaisi.

In parallel with discussion of election programs there was made accent on gender disbalance existing in election lists. In opinion of the representatives of parties the main reason of this disbalance is lack of women’s activeness. They think that women should have more initiatives.

It was also mentioned that social issues are always priority for women, so problems will be better solved if number of women in the local self-government increases.  

The project is implemented with the support of the organization NED – National Endowment for Democracy, USA.
