| Summary: | This country gender assessment (CGA)
reviews the state of equality between women and men in
Georgia in access to opportunities, that is, equality in
rights, resources, and voice for women and men. Equality of
rights refers to equality under the law, whether customary,
or statutory. Equality of resources refers to equality of
access to human capital investments, productive resources,
and markets. Equality of voice refers to the capacity to
make decisions about one’s own life, to act on these
decisions, and to influence and contribute to the political
discourse and the development process. Recognizing the
commitment to gender equality in the constitution, in the
legal framework, and in policies, this report mainly focuses
on the state of equality in resources and voice.
Specifically, the report reviews the extent of equality in
the areas of demography, human capital, economic
opportunities, and voice and agency and points to some
common patterns. |
