Женщина на Кавказе остается основой общества.

8 марта, Международный женский день. Праздник отмечается во многих частях Кавказа с символическим проявлением  уважения по отношению к женскому полу, с таким как преподношение женщинам дома или коллегам на рабочем месте  цветов или сладостей.

Женщина по-прежнему остается фундаментом, на котором основывается кавказское общество. Несмотря на фольклорный образ бородатых мужчин с кинжалами за поясом и питьевым рогом в руках, именно женщины обеспечивают преемственность и стабильность в обществе. Однако, положение женщин на Кавказе часто бывает трудным. Они часто становятся жертвами насилия. Они по-прежнему остаются на заднем плане в общественной жизни и подвергаются дискриминации во многих отношениях. Во время конфликтов последних двадцати пяти лет женщины пострадали больше всего, принимая на себя основную тяжесть последствий войны и насилия, особенно когда их семьи вынуждены были  переселяться.

Но есть некоторые признаки того, что роль женщины усиливается, но этот процесс идет медленно. Женщины по-прежнему составляют незначительное меньшинство в парламенте в трех странах Южного Кавказа и права женщин продолжают оставаться на обочине. Еще хуже ситуация на Северном Кавказе, где религиозный консерватизм разрушает любые прошлые достижения. Международный женский день является хорошей возможностью задуматься над этими проблемами и рассмотреть пути их решения.

Мы желаем всем женщинам на Кавказе и во всем мире, и прежде всего женщинам-читательницам commonspace.eu, Счастливого 8 Марта!

Azerbaijani members of thematic groups for dialogue with Armenians briefed, as work on five final reports continues in earnest

On Friday, (26 September) there was another amazing event in the process of Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue, this time in Baku. Around twenty five Azerbaijanis involved in five thematic groups established by LINKS Europe earlier this year were briefed by Murad Muradov, co-Chair of the thematic group on Peace and Security; Liman Namazova, Chair of the thematic group on Environment; Lala Jumayeva, Chair of the thematic group on gender and diversity; Nigar Gurbanli, Deputy Chair of the thematic group on regional connectivity; and Ramazan Samadov, Deputy Chair of the thematic group on Governance, on the work done so-far. Murad Muradov spoke about his visit to Yerevan earlier in the week, and his speech to Armenian thematic group members. He said the momentum for peace, dialogue and regional co-operation was stronger than ever before. Ambassadors and other representatives of EU member states and others, as well as representatives of the EU Delegation, the EUSR office and other international institutions were in attendance. In a short speech to the gathering, LINKS Europe Director, Dr Dennis Sammut, said that enemies of peace remained active in both Armenia and Azerbaijan. Many had been warmongers for years, and it was difficult for them to change. However it was important to engage them, and have an open and honest discussion with them. The Azerbaijani members of the thematic groups are eager to meet their Armenian counterparts in person in Tbilisi 27-28 October, when they hope to finish the work on the five reports.
