Talk - shows
omen ote
ive of our omen Community eaders are journalists who help produce relevant, interestin , and important monthly talk shows for each of our partner
television stations in Akhaltsikhe, Akhalkalaki, Borjomi, Marneuli and Ninotsminda.
Gender e uality and related women s issues are particularly important in these re ions. These talk shows
make it possible for women to talk honestly about
their speci c problems and needs. nvited uests are
local overnment representatives and relevant nonovernmental or ani ations, teachers, psycholo ists,
doctors and interested citi ens.
Our journalists produced talk shows last year, all of which were translated and broadcast in Armenian, A eri,
and Geor ian in all ve participatin television statinso as well as uploaded onto our website, mediacentri. e.
Nona Samkharad e,
oman Community eader and journalist, Marneuli T
or me as a journalist, bein a member of an initiative roup of omen Community eaders is very important
because the project ets women involved in the political arena and boosts women s participation and con dence.
The oal of empowerin women and encoura in their involvement in local overnment cannot be achieved
without media support. t is also important to increase the sensitivity of the citi ens.
owever, many people are not yet ready to talk publicly about women s labor ri hts, early marria es especially
in Marneuli , women s reproductive health, and women s involvement in decision-makin processes. Many issues need to be brou ht to society s attention and discussed. t is important to encoura e society to be in talkin
about these issues.
Also, would like to say that have rown as a journalist because of the communication with the variety of
omen eaders from the different municipalities. t has been a reat e perience for me. Throu h this project
will always be able to feel the pulse of the process that enhances women s involvement in political processes.
Ms. Surmanid e,
oman Community eader and journalist, Channel Nine, Akhaltsikhe
t has been very important and interestin for me to work on the Talk-Shows. worked on news stories before and
rarely prepared topics about ender issues. Only for women s days did we work on materials related to women.
After the project was launched, we have be un to actively cover ender-related issues.
As a journalist, attend the meetin s or ani ed by my collea ues. The participants often complain that nobody
is interested in their problems. think this project has contributed to breakin some of their stereotypes as well
as the society s. see the chan e happenin . omen are more active and talk publicly about painful problems in
the open air.

oman Community eader and journalist, Ninotsminda T , arvana
Over the past ve months, the Talk-Show omen Choose has become very popular in Ninotsminda. The TalkShow is supportin the local population to become more active. hen we rst started, women were reluctant to
participate in our pro rams. After a few pro rams were released, however, we were able to attract more uests for
our Talk Shows. Most importantly, they have become more open.
omen have be un to speak publicly about
their problems whereas earlier they would only discuss these issues within their closest circle of friends.

Teona upunia, National emocratic nstitue, discussed how we perceive women in our society. She also discussed the importance of becomin a woman leader,
what it means, leadership types, conductin ne otiations and how to resolve con icts. Ms. upunia
provided the participants with comprehensive information relatin to the role of leaders, speci cally
the importance of women leaders, in our society.
Meetin s, trainin s, sharin information and plannin for future activities are mana ed systematically
within the project and supports coordinated action,

of what men earn and are seriously underrepresented in overnment. They often do
not vote or et involved in overnment, believin that their husbands and fathers will represent them. This
is especially true in the villa es and in the minority communities of Geor ia.
ast July the Media Center developed an initiative to encoura e minority women in and around the re ion
to vote and become politically active. Our pro ram, with support from N and the British Embassy, is now
empowerin women from different ethnic back rounds in the outlyin areas of Geor ia. The followin table

Our oun eader s Club, or ani ed this past summer, took the initiative to enable children with disabilities and their parents to attend the Borjomoba. The children with disabilities rarely o out of their homes

their parents was that they were not for otten, that the youth took the time to spend the day with them.
t was one of the most heartwarmin e periences for me to watch the smiles and hu s and joy e pressed
throu hout the day.
orkin with the Media Center has been an unfor ettable e perience
