This episode is a companion to this article about gender inequality in Georgia.
In this episode, Global Voices’ South Caucasus and Turkey Editor Arzu Geybullayeva interviews Maya Talakhadze and Ekaterine Khositashvili, the authors of an upcoming report within the scope of the “Defeating Gender Inequality” project in Georgia. The project is a joint initiative between the Disruption Network Lab and the Regional Development Hub-Caucasus. Joining them on the podcast is Emmy Thume, a journalist from Germany who visited Georgia in September and published a story about domestic violence in the country. Together, the three speakers shared their thoughts on the state of gender (in)equality in Georgia, the research findings of the report, and next steps.
This special episode of the Global Voices Podcast is in partnership with the Berlin-based Disruption Network Lab, with whom Global Voices has collaborated on several events and interviews.

This week, we take a walk through Central Asia with Central Asia Editor Zhar Zardykhan, to find out the consequences for the region of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan followed by the ascent of the Taliban, which raises fears of militancy, but also puts strains on trade, movement and security. Meanwhile, Russia's invasion of Ukraine puts these countries on shaky ground, balancing their need to assert territorial integrity with their dependence on Russia for security, remittances and trade.

This week, we take a deep dive into research from the Civic Media Observatory, where Daria Dergacheva tells us about the CMO's analysis of Vkontakte, a Russia-only social network. The research looked at how, in one of the few “public” spaces left to Russians in Russia, members responded to posts about the war, and terms and iconography associated with it. In a follow up post to the analysis discussed here, the CMO looked at how Ukrainians were using the same site to inform Russians about the war.

This week, we speak to Nanjala Nyabola, Advox Director, and she tells us about Advox's latest research project: Unfreedom Monitor. The Unfreedom Monitor is a project to analyse, document, and report on the growing phenomenon of the use of digital communications technology to advance authoritarian governance. Researchers are examining 11 countries — Brazil, Ecuador, Egypt, India, Morocco, Myanmar, Russia, Sudan, Tanzania, Turkey and Zimbabwe — and four cross-cutting themes concerning digital authoritarianism to develop an approach that can be used across contexts — data governance, speech, access, information. You can find the briefing report here.
