Women in Abkhazia

Abkhazian women, particularly those of older age, are traditionally portrayed as peacemakers, decision makers, and mediators in times of combat and conflict. While they play a very active role in civil society, they are not widely represented in governmental structures. At present, Abkhazian women are more active as participants in the realm of business and in activities related to establishing organizations for women in their country.
