The Public Defender’s Office has expressed its concerns over the declining rate of women's participation in the country’s political life experiences and there is no progress observed on the horizon. 

According to Ombudsmen Ucha Nanuashvili, the deterioration in this regard was revealed after the 2014 local elections in which women's representation met only 11.1%. Also, changes were made in the cabinet of ministers without the consideration of female participation. 

Women in the Democratic Republic of Georgia hold powerful positions in the media. They often work behind the scenes, but they significantly influence the policies and trends in the local media.

UN Women observes progress in many areas, including expanding women’s leadership roles and enhancing women’s economic empowerment. For many women, poverty and violence are every day facts of life as they fight to acquire equal rights with men – in employment, family, property, as well as access to public services and security, says UN Women's program director for the sub-regional office for Eastern Europe and Central Asia, Damira Sartbaeva.
