Women’s Power - Economic and Political Participation for Inclusive Societies in Georgia

Project Description
The project “Women's Power” aims to support women and girls in four regions of Georgia (Kakheti, Guria, Racha and Imereti) to participate equally in economy and politics and change patriarchal mindsets and stereotypes. Feminist activists, including young people, will be trained and funded to implement local actions that contribute to increased women’s political and economic participation. The action will result in tangible changes improving the lives of local women and men, girls and boys.
Specific Objective
Change mind-sets by decreasing stigmatization, stereotypes, patriarchal views, and increase women’s monitoring of, and participation in, policy making and budget planning in their municipalities, bringing tangible improvement to women’s lives from Guria, Kakheti, Racha and Imereti.
