Finally, NGOs offer legal defense to victims. As for economic equality, women in Georgia reported that they face discrimination in hiring, promotion and retention. Even among some international organizations, single women must sign an agreement not to get married during the period of employment. Age discrimination in hiring is also common. In response to injustices such as these, some NGOs have conducted mass media campaigns to support women who have been unfairly dismissed.
Political inequality remains an issue too.
Women have much less representation than men in regional and national legislative and executive bodies. Georgian organizations working on women's problems created the political union Women for Elections to promote women candidates and involve women in the electoral process. Reports from elsewhere in the FSU also describe a wide variety of examples of NGOs tackling women's issues. In Kyrgyzstan, for instance, a rural women's group participated in advocacy training shortly after a redistribution of land which many women in the village saw as improper and illegal. Using techniques from the training, the women approached the land redistribution commission and successfully had the distribution modified.
