On International Day of Rural Women celebrate women-led struggle for gender-justice
Originally posted by the Global Forest Coalition in English, Spanish and French October 15th marks International Day of Rural Women. Today, along with eight of our member groups, we are celebrating the role and invaluable contributions of women and girls all around the world towards protecting forests and biodiversity, producing healthy and sustainable food and providing for their families and communities. However, rural women are still among the most vulnerable and marginalized groups, showing that there is much work to be done in the struggle for gender equality. As our member groups show, women are self-organizing to overcome these challenges, demand their rights and bridge the gender gap. At the same time, they are contributing to the well-being of their communities and the ecosystems they depend on, as well as the planet overall. The photographs and descriptions below are a brief glimpse into the inspiring work that our member groups have been [...]

Georgia factsheet: SDGs and gender equality
Georgia has made significant progress in terms of improving and harmonizing the legislative framework for the defense of human rights. However, there is still work to be done in terms of its implementation. According to official data, women represent only 15 % (23 members) of the parliament. Although this is about a 9-percentage point increase since 2008, the total number of women in parliament remains critically low. The situation is even worse at the local level where women hold no governorship, filling only one mayoral post out of 64 and just 13 percent of seats in local councils. The latest legislative initiative to enact gender quotas was supported by more than 37,000 Georgian citizens, but Georgia’s parliament rejected the bill in March 2018, because it did not receive enough support from Members of the Parliament. 1 in 7 women reported having experienced domestic violence in their lifetime (UN Women, 2017). In January 2018, the [...]
