Meeting in Ozurgeti

At the meeting (in the format of "Focus group”) carried out on the 17th of March in the local self-government of Ozurgeti, participants of the research carried out by Fund "Sukhumi” were provided with the interesting information.

At the meeting employees of the Local self-government and City Administration expressed their positions regarding the issues: why there are less women-politicians in Georgia than men, why there are no women at the top of election lists, what may change in politics with the involvement of large number of women, whether it is necessary to conduct certain measures for increasing of women’s representation.

"It is necessary to mobilize women, motivate and develop skills in them”.

"As a rule, decisions are made by men, we just fulfill their requirements”, - there are notes of dissatisfaction in these words of women.

"We really feel deficiency of support and assistance”.

"Woman politician lacks self-confidence”. "Then, how can she win men in majoritarian elections?” – now these are diametrically different positions.

"Showing woman-politician Mass Media finds elements of show”, - this opinion was not appealed against.

Participants had the same position in connection with the fact that increase of women’s representation in politics would necessarily be told upon social priorities, education, health protection, though the majority, among them women, consider special measures for increasing of their number undesirable.

 

The project is implemented with the support of International Alert, Great Britain.
