On Tuesday, February 8, Oksana Smoeva, an employee of the Cultural Center of the Caucasus Yazidis, took part in the work of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, in the regional consultation for Europe.

The consultation was held in an online format, using the Zoom platform. The theme of one of the sessions was: "Equality and non-discrimination: What is the impact of sustainable development on gender equality and the enjoyment of economic, social and cultural rights by disadvantaged and marginalized individuals and groups?“.

The speaker - Oksana Smoeva touched upon the problems of the Yezidi community in the Caucasus, namely in Georgia and Armenia. As, in these countries, even though they are legal democratic States that have ratified the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, there are several systemic omissions that lead to marginalization and several violations of rights and freedoms against the Yezidi community.

Also, such topical issues as women's rights and the problem of early marriage, which, unfortunately, are systematically violated in the Caucasus, were touched upon.
