The theme of this year’s annual
International Day of the Girl Child, on October 11, “Digital generation. Our generation.”, recognizes the digital transformation brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. But while the pandemic accelerated the transition to online learning, working and networking, it also accelerated women and girl's risk of being left behind.
In elections last October in Georgia, women’s share of seats in parliament went up by nearly seven percent, following the enforcement of
a 25 percent quota for women candidates.
