In the frame of the UNDP Gender and Politics Programme in the South Caucasus, in June 16 - 17, Bakuriani hosted a seminar for central and regional printed media editors. During two days, nineteen editor and printed media representatives were receiving information in following topics: gender roles and stereotypes, gender equality and mechanisms, policy on gender in Georgia, the role of women in political processes and decision making, career of man and women in journalism, similarities of man and women in profession, labor code, social assistance, etc.
The aim of the seminar was to spread information among key decision makers of printed media and show them the importance of spreading concept of gender equality to wider audience though their own newspapers.
