Ethnic Minority Women in Georgia- Facing a Double Burden?
Publisher: ECMI Volume: 40 pages, pdf Description: This paper examines the situation of women belonging to ethnic minorities, one of the most vulnerable social groups in the Republic of Georgia. Minority women carry the double burden of belonging to frequently discriminated ethnic groups, as well as to the historically suppressed gender. It focuses on gender-based discrimination and violence – and the social structures and norms that cause them – as well as impediments to women’s economic empowerment and political participation.
