Problem statement

Conflict between parents and children isn’t a novelty, this problem has existed for centuries and has been discussed by philosophers and psychologists. This problem is closely related to gender issue, for example a famous feminist August Bebel in his work “Woman and Socialism” suggests that those women who suffer from gender-based oppression later treat their daughters unequally and unfairly. I agree with this opinion, unfortunately in today’s reality gender-based discrimination of children is very common, by their mothers as well. We come across gender discrimination on the family level...

Intersex people are still one of the most ininvisible groups in Georgia.

“Intersex” is a general term used for a variety of conditions in which a person is born with a reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn’t seem to fit the typical definitions of female or male.

The spread of gender stereotypes has a negative impact on intersex people, and they are often afraid of coming out. It's common for them to have no connection with the LGBTQI community. Also, formal or informal unions of intersex people do not exist in Georgia.

Sensitivity about intersex issues is...

Young girls from undeserved families and communities with low academic results face many challenges. Without intervention, they are at-risk for dropping out of school, early marriage, street work, sexual or physical abuse, or young pregnancy.

This project targets young at-risk girls in high schools, day centers and shelters. We plan to implement peer-led education programs for them. This will be done by creating a club called "Girls of the Future," which is partially financed by the US Embassy who trained 25 girls as peer educators. We believe these clubs will have a...

In Georgia, unfortunately, the facts of domestic violence are reported but little is done to prevent or minimize these facts. Sometimes, those victims of domestic violence are not even aware of the facts and remain trapped in their circumstances.

Behind all this data, there are real people with real problems. We want to live in the country with democracy and liberty, but domestic violence kills this liberty and the sense of humanity of everyone connected to it.

Not many girls are able to express their opinions freely in their families. In the vast majority of cases, girls’ career aspirations and desire to live active social lives are ignored.

Often, this continues because girls simply don’t have the information that there are other ways of living. This project aims to help girls realize the existence of opportunities to live full lives.

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.

Problem statement

There is a wide variety of attitudes towards gender issues. The main problem in this case is lack of information and stereotypes. This should be addressed at an early age, when stereotypes are not yet developed.

We will try to raise gender issues among the youth via a new method. Particularly, we will screen movies about gender and have group discussions. Discussion of gender using this method will contribute to destroying gender stereotypes. It will also develop the art of having a discussion and the skills of formulating one’s own opinion.

Lagodekhi is largely a rural area without amenities like theaters, sports grounds, courses, public squares, or museums. Such an environment leads to stereotypical thought.

Teenage girls are often victims of these stereotype. As they develop their individualism, their family and communities usually are not supportive. Phrases like, "This doesn’t suit a girl!” and This is not girl’s business!” are common. Even now that I am financially independent and an adult, my mother still criticizes my behavior for not being traditional.

Gender equality does not only benefit women who are often victims of visible and invisible discrimination. While men as a group do exercise power over women, patriarchal structure also affects men, and pressures them to conform to social expectations of masculinity.

Unfortunately the issues of masculinity are not widely discussed here and male domination over women here is seen as machismo, as a norm. The reason is that there is lack of interest and information in the wider society as well as in academic circles.

Gender equality means equal opportunities, participation and the equal appearance of both genders in the public and private sphere.

Women’s participation in terms of decision-making is also low.
