Makhachkala, March 26, 2014. On March 25, the patriotic platform of the "United Russia"’s Daghestan office held a meeting in the Deputies’ Centre there the party members discussed the women’s role in Daghestan development.

Opening the meeting, coordinator of the political club, member of the party’s Daghestan political council Zhanna Sulaeva noted that being a good mother, a homemaker is enough for a woman, but many women opt to be socially and politically involved.
