On May 31, an “Equality Corner” opened at the Shota Ananidze Public School in the village of Tskhmorisi, Keda municipality, at the initiative of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), within the UNCT Sabine Machl's visit to Adjara. More than 200 books on gender equality, empowerment of women and girls, tolerance and human rights have been added to the library.

Launching “Equality Corners” in different regions of Georgia is an initiative of the UNFPA that 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 UNFPA Georgia Country Office has been actively using innovative approaches to reach the target audience and thereby contribute to social changes. 

The “Equality Corner” in the village of Tskhmorisi, which is already the sixteenth in Georgia, has been launched within the UN Joint Programme “For Gender Equality” by UNFPA, with the financial support of Sweden.
