Participates in Feminist Fest

On June 18-19, Ekaterine Gamakharia, head of the Tbilisi office of Women Fund "Sukhumi", participated in Feminist Fest 2025 in Stockholm, Sweden. The event, hosted by the Swedish Defence University, brought together feminist activists, peacebuilders, researchers, and academics from around the world.

One of the highlights of the festival was the launch of the book “Brave Women: Fighting for Justice in the 21st Century”, featuring a co-authored chapter by Ekaterine Gamakharia and feminist researcher Magda Cardenas. Their chapter -"Transitional Activism: Women Peace Efforts within Conflict-Affected Populations in Georgia" explores the transformation of displaced women in Georgia from victims to leaders and advocates, drawing on personal narratives and the long-standing work of Women Fund "Sukhumi".

“This experience was unique. I was not just a research subject I was an author with the freedom to share my perspective and truth,” said Gamakharia.

She emphasized that in today’s shrinking civic space in Georgia, where the term “gender” is increasingly politicized, displaced and conflict-affected women continue their fight - “Nothing about us, without us!”
