<div>Who are we and what are we raising funds for?
</div>
<div>We are the Georgian-German Women's Alliance (GGWA), a newly founded Berlin-based initiative. On May 26, 2026—Georgia’s Independence Day—we are hosting a major public event at PANDA Platforma in Berlin: "Georgia as a Case Study: From Democracy to Authoritarian Rule." This event brings together experts, activists, and artists to examine Georgia’s democratic backsliding and share strategies for recognizing and resisting authoritarianism before it becomes irreversible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why is this cause important?
</div>
<div>Georgia is at a critical juncture. Its democratic institutions are facing severe threats, and civil society is under unprecedented pressure. This event provides a vital, much-needed platform for Georgian experts, journalists, and artists to share their lived experiences, document the ongoing protests, and amplify the voices of those fighting for their European future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How will the funds be used?
</div>
<div>This event is entirely volunteer-led and grassroots. We have secured the venue and an incredible lineup of speakers, but we currently have no external budget. We need community support to make this happen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation will go directly toward:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Travel: Helping cover travel costs for crucial guest speakers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Exhibition Materials: Printing high-quality photos for our protest archive exhibition.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Symbolic Honorariums: If our funding allows, we hope to provide a small symbolic honorarium to the independent visual artists and musicians contributing their time and talent to the event.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>NGO Establishment: Any remaining funds saved from the event will go directly toward the legal and administrative expenses required to officially register our new organization (GGWA) as an NGO.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How will the beneficiary receive the funds?
</div>
<div>All funds will be managed directly by the organizers (GGWA and MY GEORGIA Women e.V.) to immediately reimburse travel, pay for printing services, and support our official registration process.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whether you can donate €5 or €50, your contribution helps us provide a platform for those standing up for democracy. If you cannot donate, please share this campaign and join us in Berlin on May 26th!
