Deputy Minister of Regional Development and Infrastructure, Mzia Giorgobiani, Adviser to the Prime Minister on Human Rights, Niko Tatulashvili, and Deputy Representative of UN Women in Georgia, Tamar Sabedashvili participated in the meeting. Maka Feradze, the head of the human rights secretariat of the government administration, spoke about the implementation of gender equality action plans and challenges.

In the second part of the meeting, the head of the Women's Information Center, Elene Rusetskaya, who is at the same time a consultant of the UN Women's Organization and the author of the study, presented the study. The research was carried out in three municipalities with the support of the UN Women's Organization, within the framework of the project "Good Governance for Gender Equality in Georgia" financed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Norway.
