From recent times in Georgia the 8^th of March is used more to celebrate advocacy for equal women’s rights, discussion of the issues of gender justice, peacebuilding and the themes of women’s solidarity in these issues.

The women’s non-governmental organization Cultural-Humanitarian Fund "Sukhumi” started preparing for an Action dedicated to the International Women’s Day – March 8. Activists of Fund "Sukhumi” will hold Round table meetings in the towns of Western Georgia: Kutaisi, Tskhaltubo, Khoni, Khobi, Ozurgeti, Batumi, Zugdidi, Senaki, Poti and the village Khurcha.

At the meetings they will report on the world history of women’s solidarity; the history of women’s movement in Georgia. Young activists will acquaint participants of the round table meetings with the results of the survey – "What does the 8^th of March means for women in Georgia and how do they celebrate it?” There will be screened documentary films of Fund "Sukhumi” which raise the issues of women’s participation in different spheres of life.

The main issue of the day and the theme of women’s discussions will be women’s solidarity so the Round tables meetings will be held under the common slogan – "We unite our dreams and goals”.
