CRRC Podcast | Episode 6 – How Conservative Are Georgians Really? Understanding the Gap Between Personal Beliefs and Perceived Social Norms in Gender Equality

In this episode of the CRRC-Georgia podcast we examine the surprising gap between Georgians’ personal beliefs and what they think their communities believe about gender equality. Drawing on findings from UN Women's and CRRC Georgia's 2024 Gender Equality Attitudes Study, the discussion highlights how Georgians often underestimate their society’s progressive attitudes regarding subjects like marriage, work, leadership, and inheritance. At the same time, traditional views persist in areas such as family roles and women’s sexuality. By unpacking these misperceptions, we ask: just how conservative are Georgians really?

CRRC Podcast | Episode 5 – How Are Georgians Getting Their News?

In this episode of the CRRC-Georgia Podcast, we explore IREX Georgia's and CRRC Researchers' Zachary Fabos and Makhare Atchaidze's "2024 Media Consumption Survey", revealing a historic shift in Georgia: more people now get their news from social media and messaging apps than television. We unpack generational divides, platform preferences, regional and language-based differences, and how trust in media, or lack thereof, shapes news engagement. From Facebook’s dominance to TikTok’s rise, from passive scrolling to emerging podcast habits, we trace how Georgians consume, share, and perceive news today and what it means for the country’s media landscape.

CRRC Podcast | Episode 4 – What Does Polarization in Georgia Look Like?

In this episode we examine political polarization in Georgia through CRRC-Georgia survey data, distinguishing between two key types: affective polarization (emotional distance between political opponents) and ideological polarization (disagreements over policy and institutions). While Georgia shows relatively low affective polarization, people maintain friendships across party lines, the country experiences significant ideological polarization, particularly around NGOs and civil society organizations.

CRRC Podcast | Episode 3 – Why does sexual harassment persist in Georgia’s workplaces?

Despite alarmingly high rates of workplace sexual harassment in Georgia, affecting nearly a quarter of private sector employees and a third of civil servants, formal reporting remains rare, and the problem persists. This episode of the CRRC-Georgia Podcast explores why. Drawing on two in-depth studies conducted in partnership with UN Women and based on both survey data and interviews, the episode examines the social norms, power imbalances, and institutional failures that allow harassment to persist.
