An International Scientific-Practical Conference Was Held at GTU “Legal Status of Women in Mid-Century Georgia and the Modern World”

At the Georgian Technical University, within the framework of the events dedicated to the 400th anniversary of the martyrdom of the holy great martyr, the luminary of Georgia, Queen Ketevan of Kakheti, an international scientific-practical conference “The legal status of women in mid-century Georgia and the modern world” was held.

The faculty of law and international relations organized the conference, which opened the vice-rector. As Professor Tamar Lominadze noted, at all stages of the history of Georgia, women carried a special mission in the development of cultural, social, public, and political life.

“The role of women in the history of Georgia is great. Georgia is proud of the first female king – Tamar, who was “The king and queen of the Abkhazians, Georgians, Rants, Kakhs and Armenians, Shirvans and Shahanshas, and the self-ownership conqueror of all the East and West”. We are proud that in Georgia, a woman, Nino, preached Christianity. The history of Georgia was and is being created by women parliamentarians and female national heroes. Queen Ketevan is an outstanding figure in Georgian history who left her indelible mark on the divine and national path of saving the nation. The topic of the international scientific-practical conference is relevant in the modern era, that’s why the comprehensive works of our science are presented for discussion at the conference, where the statues of women at different stages of the history of Georgia are reflected. I think these issues will arouse great interest among students,” Tamar Lominadze said at the conference opening.

The GTU vice-rector, professor Tamar Tsereteli, wished success to the participants of the conference, and the dean of the Faculty of Law and International Relations informed the audience about the video clip shot by Tamar Tagvadze for the exhibition part of Queen Ketevan of Goa Archaeological Museum. As Professor Irakli Gabisonia noted, the presentation of the video clip in the university space was deliberately connected to the international conference.
