Gender Equality in Georgia: What Do Women and Men Really Think?
A new study, Men, Women, and Gender Relations in Georgia: Public Perceptions and Attitudes, released by the UNDP and UNFPA, with support from Sweden, highlights a complex gender equality landscape.
The findings show a decline in awareness of gender equality principles between 2013 and 2019, underscoring shifting public attitudes and generational divides. Compared to earlier surveys, both women and men now show greater ambivalence towards gender equality, although younger generations are more likely to challenge ‘traditional’ gender roles in domestic and public life.
While 57.5 percent of the population think that a woman's primary responsibility is to care for the family, a significant 62 percent of citizens acknowledge the benefits of greater women’s participation in politics and decision-making.
