Abkhazian women, particularly those of older age, are traditionally portrayed as peacemakers, decision makers, and mediators in times of combat and conflict. The women in Abkhazia only have a marginal in number within the showground of Abkhazian politics[citation needed]. At present, the Abkhazian females are more active as participants in the realm of business and in activities related to establishing organizations for women in their country.[1][2]
