Yet another “Equality Corner” has opened in the library of Tetritskaro Youth Centre at the initiative of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Georgia Country Office and the support of the European Union. More than 200 books have been added to the collection of the library on equality, empowerment of women and girls, tolerance and human rights. 

Representatives of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Georgia Country Office participated in the opening of the “Equality Corner” who talked to the students attending the meeting about gender equality, creating equal opportunities for girls and boys, and the importance of literature.  

Establishing “Equality Corners” in schools and libraries in different regions of Georgia is an initiative of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)which has been implemented since 2018 with the support of partner organizations. This initiative enables adolescents and young people to learn more about the concept of equality through contemporary literature. 

For many years now, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Georgia Country Office has been actively using innovative approaches to reach the target audience and thereby contribute to social changes. Literature is the universal language that allows adolescents and young people to learn more about the idea of equality and empowerment of women and girls. 

The “Equality Corner” at Tetritskaro Youth Centre, which is already the fourteenth in Georgia, is being launched as part of the programme “Ending Violence against Women and Girls in Georgia” (EVAWGG) jointly implemented by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and UN Women with the support of the European Union.
