Today it will be known whether the Parliament will discuss the issue of sexual harassment against women. The Human Rights Committee will discuss the issue of the petition filed by the Women`s Movement.

About two weeks ago, the founder of the Women`s Movement filed 1000 signatures in the legislative body. Their demand is to change the legislation and make sexual harassment against women punishable.

"First of all, we should discuss whether this petition is reasonable at all. Of course, this is a matter of majority, but I think that due to the current challenges, this issue should be discussed, "- said Sophio Kiladze, chairwoman of the Human Rights Committee of the Parliament.

The Parliamentary Opposition also speaks about the necessity of regulations.

"It is a serious problem in the reality of Georgia and I hope the" Georgian Dream "will use the constitutional majority not only to change the constitution and to adopt to the interests of one-party l but also to make changes that are important to the whole society,"- said Tinatin Bokuchava.
