Goals

Problem statement:

We want to raise awareness about gender issues and encourage the equal participation of girls and women in planned activities and discussions. In the Georgian media, gender issues are rarely addressed.

Current studies show that Georgia is increasing its awareness about gender equality, but still has progress to make. This progress means a continued effort to provide information about early marriage, equal rights, and domestic violence.

Proposed Solution:

In case of a project success, We will use the video camera to dispel misinformation about gender by creating footage and sharing it. The footage will be broadcast on the TV and Radio Company "Rioni" and on social media.

Specifically, we will address the following issues:

• The information will discuss equal political representation
• Individual cases will be presented on gender balanced families.
• Experts on gender theory will be interviewed to offer comprehensive information
• NGOs and volunteers demonstrate how to organize local discussion.
• Themes: culture of volunteerism, tolerance, in the process of formation of a democratic society.

In addition to the video, we will conduct three training sessions for young journalists and volunteers run by experienced journalists working on gender issues. We also have planned activities for students (boys and girls) who will receive information on gender equality and become a source of information for their peers.

Sustainability:

The sustainability of the project ensures permanent dissemination of information through mass media and social networks that will enhance the level of education and reduce the existing problems in the country, helping women and men enjoy equal rights.

Completing the project does not mean solving the problem. It is therefore important that the item was transferred to a volunteer group that will continue to work on gender issues. We hope to be a good example for other media outlets and local governments.

Equal gender opportunity:

A gender balanced discussion space allows the interests of women and men to be equally protected and reveal everyone's needs and abilities. The project will therefore help both women and men.
