Women in Service to Peace in Georgia

Women – community leaders, the displaced and conflict-affected and those living along the dividing lines – play a special role in implementing the Women, Peace and Security agenda at the local level. Accordingly, their support is an important and, in some cases, decisive factor in building long-lasting and sustainable peace.

The stories collected in this publication recount their experiences, adventures and values. They will tell you about these women’s genuine love for their homeland, for peace and for people – the love that gives women the motivation and strength to volunteer, to help others unconditionally and to accomplish tasks large and small with a sense of great responsibility. The real-life stories of amazing humanity and dedication that you will read here will convince you that these women are the ones who create true peace. That is why their involvement in decision-making processes and public diplomacy is critical – to rebuild the bridges destroyed by conflict.

The publication was prepared in the framework of the UN Women project “Women Act for Peace and Security”, with generous financial support from the UK Government.
