Goals
Problem statement:
Today, there are numbers of organizations working on gender equality. However, there are lots of gender stereotypes and harmful traditions preventing Georgian society from achieving gender equality in real life.
Sometimes, feminism is characterized as misandry and male oppression. We believe a lack of information causes this. In our community people either have no information about woman’s rights and feminism, or what they know is not correct.
Information particularly important in case of young girls, who could be next generation of activists fighting for equality, but don’t join because they risk being labelled a feminist. Instead they choose to remain silence and stay in “safe zone” where they think a“normal woman” should be, even if that position is oppressive.
Proposed Solution:
We, the “Girls Scouts Association Dia-Gori” believe in providing girls with information about feminism and woman’s rights movement. As the project will enable girls to have their own idea about gender equality and won’t be influenced by TV, social media, peers and people in their community in general.
Our idea is to bring 15 girls from Gori and neighboring area together and create space for them where they can meet once a week ,watch a movie on different dimension of gender equality and engage in dissuasion afterwards. Topics covered in the project are: woman’s rights and suffrage movement, gender stereotypes, gender based violence/ early marriage, woman’s labor rights.
Girls will have opportunity to meet successful professional women, who will be co-conducting meetings along with project leader. Participants will also be provided with handouts covering additional information about a particular topic.
Sustainability:
The project aims to raise awareness about woman’s rights movement and empower young girls. We want to help participants to realize their potential and become active and involved members of their communities. The organization – “Girls Scout Association Dia- Gori” also seeks to recruit new members through the project, who will be involved in future projects as volunteers.
Equal gender opportunity:
Direct beneficiaries of the projects will be girls (age 13-16); however we believe that everyone will benefit indirectly, as the project contributes strengthening idea of gender equality.
