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!
