Highlights
 ALUMNI
DISCUSS THE EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN IN GEORGIA
On March 10, in recognition of International
Women's Day, a roundtable discussion devoted to
"Women and the 21st Century" was held
for more than thirty alumni of the CI, RSEP and
UGRAD programs in Tbilisi, Georgia.
The event was led by two ECA alumni who are members
of Parliament, Guguli Magradze (RSEP '98) and
Salome Samadashvili (UGRAD '96), and provided
alumni with the opportunity to share their ideas
about the current gender situation in Georgia
and changes that can be made at the local, regional
and national level to empower women.
Additionally, participant Manana
Tevzadze (CI '00) shared her personal experience
concerning gender stereotypes. When the company

people accepted the fact that more women were
laid off than men because men are still viewed
as heads of families and major breadwinners. More
