| description |
After the collapse of the Soviet Union,
Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia experienced a sharp decline
in economic output, prolonged regional conflicts resulting
in great numbers of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and
refugees, the deterioration of social protection systems,
and devastating natural disasters. These circumstances
resulted in a dramatic increase in poverty and a decline in
the human development index. Poverty has greatly affected
women and introduced numerous obstacles and challenges in
the promotion of gender equality and advancement of
women's rights. Furthermore, women face new challenges
with regard to issues such as human trafficking, rights of
IDPs, and peacekeeping initiatives. Regional cooperation is
necessary to address these issues. This project set out to
assess the capacity of civil society organizations (CSOs) to
meet the pressing needs for legal literacy, legal aid, and
improved access to justice and legal services for poor women
in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. The primary objectives
were as follows: identify laws and institutions that promote
women's rights; identify and disseminate successful
initiatives that promote women's legal rights and legal
literacy and facilitate their access to legal services; and
strengthen collaboration among groups working on gender
issues in prioritizing women's legal rights. This
report is organized around three key dimensions of gender
equality: the status of women as far as human capital
development is concerned, their status in terms of access to
productive resources, and their status and protection under
the law. |
