In March 2023, journalist Mako Jabua accused POS TV director Shalva Ramishvili of sexual harassment, recalling an incident that occurred 7–8 years earlier during a job interview. This was not the first such allegation made against Ramishvili, who was known as a propagandist close to the ruling Georgian Dream party. Senior party members, including Mamuka Mdinaradze, publicly defended him, saying: “That’s what the Bolsheviks used to do — turn colleagues against each other and make them write so-called denunciations. Apparently, something happened seven years ago, she didn’t remember then but does now. […] I don’t believe it. Do I have to believe it?”

On April 2, a Women’s Solidarity March was held in Tbilisi against inequality, violence, oppression, and terror targeting women. The march began on Aghmashenebeli Avenue near the Vaso Abashidze New Theatre and ended in Dedaena Park.

Participants stated that “the ruling party and the media outlets under its control are now openly and publicly involved in the demoralization, dehumanization, humiliation, and silencing of women.”

They put forward four main demands:

1. Conduct effective and impartial investigations into cases of violence against women;
2. Launch investigations into false accusations and stalking against all possible perpetrators;
3. Ensure that the government and members of parliament publicly distance themselves from cases of violence;
4. Take all necessary measures to fulfill both domestic and international obligations to eliminate discrimination against women.
