Las barreras informales y formales a la toma de decisiones políticas de las mujeres todavía existen, seis años antes de la expiración de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS). Entre los factores informales que todavía presenciamos, la cultura, la tradición y la religión se están utilizando para diluir la participación significativa de las mujeres en la toma de decisiones políticas.

Post-conflict democratization has always been regarded as an ordeal, and democracy-building in the South Caucasus countries is no exception.
The countries of the region—Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia—are telling examples of the fact that elections are insufficient for the establishment of democracy.
