Open Day on the 25th Anniversary of UNSCR 1325

UN Women hosted the traditional Open Day dedicated to the Women, Peace and Security agenda, marking the 25th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325. The event brought together ambassadors accredited to Georgia, high-level diplomatic representatives, UN agencies and partner organizations.

The discussion focused on the experiences of internally displaced and conflict-affected women—their everyday security challenges, the needs identified within their communities, and the small but impactful local initiatives they have implemented themselves.

Participants emphasized the critical importance of women's meaningful participation in decision-making processes. Presentations by the Women and Youth Peace Ambassadors Network, community workers and women’s organizations highlighted both progress and the growing threats facing women’s voices and activism today.

Eka Gamakharia, Head of the Tbilisi Office of the Women’s Fund “Sukhumi,” stated: “As many displaced women, I know what forced displacement means… This agenda has become a transformative tool for me and many other women… This is the key achievement we must hold on to and never give up.”

The event concluded with a warm reception hosted by the British Ambassador to Georgia, Gareth Ward, symbolizing continued solidarity and recognition of women’s leadership.

The project is implemented with the support of the organization Brot
