And that is something we cannot afford, because we are a part of the global family that wants equal representation by 2030. Consequently, we must hurry up and take concrete steps toward enhancing women's political participation, and work on cutting and preventing violence against women during elections and in politics," the Prime Minister's Human Rights and Gender Equality Adviser Lela Akiashvili stated at today's high-level meeting on the prevention of violence against women during elections and in politics.
