One more broken stereotype

  • Wednesday, 09 March 2022

Tamar Kavtaradze is a journalist, an operator of the Mega TV, winner of the competition "Journalists - for Social Changes"...

The hero of another video of the Women Fund "Sukhumi" is Tamar, a multimedia journalist who takes a TV camera everywhere and destroyed the stereotype that the profession of an operator is not a woman's business.

Gender stereotypes are the views spread in society about the roles of women and men. Such stereotypes limit the opportunities for women and men to develop their personal skills and determine their professional choice.
