My main goal is to help people understand and accept human rights and gender equality through art. Equal rights will help people nurture their skills and talents to build a better life without fear of being left behind in many ways – to make independent career choices, be promoted for talents, ask for help, be weak, or be strong, without criticism from the community.

The six-day “How to Start a Business” course taught women in Georgia how to generate start-up ideas and validate them, as well as how to build the right team and create a product. They also developed strategic and innovative thinking, and learned about planning and product distribution, financial documentation, business modeling and investment proposals.

Since 2014, the UN Women Georgia Country Office has supported the Women’s Fund in Georgia (WFG) with the annual Kato Mikeladze award ceremony to honour women’s rights defenders on every 29 November – International Women Human Rights Defenders Day.
