From article "Slaves' Song" by Polina Miloradovich of
Georgia:
"Just recently, I participated in a talk show on the national
TV. The topic was on the situation of women in Georgia. Experts were all men;

experts saw any problems in this field. Yes, there are certain social problems,
but they refer equally to both men and women. In general, life is okay, they
say. There is no gender discrimination in Georgia, ladies don't want to get into
politics themselves, and the problem of domestic violence was exported from the
West.................!!"
