Flowers of Caucasus

Georgia is a basically conservative country, where the Orthodox Church exercises a strong influence on social behavior, defining the role of women as a wife and mother as fundamental. Social pressure does not allow women to have control over their body or their sexuality, causing them to hide their sex life or deny it altogether. Equal by law, women are discriminated against in the workplace, earning on average 39% less than men; under-represented in politics - 23 out of 150 female MPs in total; penalized in education - for 22% of Georgians a degree is more important for a boy than for a girl. 76% of Georgians are against abortion, but the attitude changes if the fetus is female and selective abortion remains a practice. in fact it is estimated that between 1990 and 2010 no 25,000 girls were born. In the case of only one child, one in four people prefer to have a boy, only one in ten prefers a girl. Only in 2019 was the Group of Independent Feminists (GFI) founded in the wake of the great international mobilization.

Today it is not easy to be a woman in this corner of the Caucasus, especially the new generations are increasingly becoming aware of their rights and rebelling against a historically patriarchal and traditional system. They are examples of resilience like flowers growing in concrete.
