Involvement of women in the political life of the country in Georgia

For decades, women in Georgia have been actively involved in the political life of the country. Despite this, society still has a mixed attitude towards the role of women in politics. Some of them consider the main function of women in Georgia to be raising children and taking care of the family and use the terms “Caucasian mentality” and “Georgian mentality” as arguments for this. However, part of society finds such an attitude towards women unacceptable. They believe that the problem of women’s involvement in politics should not be discussed. As for the term, “Georgian mentality”, it should be noted that historically in Georgia, women have always been involved in the political life of the country. We even had female kings. Recently, the role of women in the labor market has increased significantly. Today, more women are employed in various jobs. Accordingly, women are becoming more active in society, especially in politics. Therefore, women work in the workplace and are responsible for the family at the same time. A woman cannot be fully realized if she does not take care of her professional career along with family affairs. Women are more flexible in various critical situations. In addition, they are better diplomats than men. Women can also organize things better. Women are more emotional. Therefore, they take the problems of others closer to their hearts and have a greater desire to help them. There are many talented women in Georgia. The involvement of women in the decision-making process is increasing. This was facilitated by the fact that a lot of work has been done to protect women's rights. However, it should be noted that many challenges remain in terms of protecting women's rights. Here, we will focus on the status of women's rights and their inclusion in Georgian politics. We will focus on the achievements and challenges in this direction. The fact that women's political participation has become important in Georgia is clear from the fact that women's representation in parliament has exceeded 30%. This is evidence that a healthy environment has been created for women involved in politics. In addition, recent history shows that in the parliament, which is mostly staffed by male politicians, many important changes have been implemented to improve the rights of women.
