In March, group and individual meetings of the lawyer were held. On March 4, there was a meeting with a violence victim in the office of the Fund “Sukhumi”. On March 9, a group legal consultation was held in the village Tskaltubo (Tskaltubo municipality). The lawyer also met with the beneficiaries of the Fund “Sukhumi” Day Center - a cutting and sewing course. Then on-line meetings began - the lawyer gave online consultations and advice to the beneficiaries in Senaki, Khoni and Ozurgeti.

The questions were different, including the current situation, but the conversation mainly concerned the law on domestic violence, mechanisms for awarding victim status and protecting the victim from violence.

Despite the situation in the country, active work was carried out by mobilizers of 10 Women's Support Centers of the Fund “Sukhumi” in March. They were able to mobilize beneficiaries, and conducted an online campaign against femicide. This year, femicide became our daily routine: 8 women were killed in 2 months. Everyone is looking for the guilt in others. Femicide has become a social problem and it is time for each of us to feel responsibility. Women, men, and especially young people were involved in the campaign.

During the month, there were many phone calls, as well as messenger and skype calls to the psychologist of the Fund “Sukhumi”. Here is the number of beneficiaries from different locations: Kutaisi 15 beneficiaries, Khurcha (Zugdidi municipality) - 5 beneficiaries, Poti-3, Khoni - 3, Tskaltubo - 6, Senaki –7. Former client also called from Italy, Dubai, Germany, Turkey, Ukraine.

Totally there were 54 calls. All expressed anxiety, confusion, fear, hysteria, and asked for help to understand existing extraordinary situation. The psychologist gave everyone concrete advice. For communication with clients, she actively used the Facebook page of the Fund “Sukhumi” - publications were made about depression, panic and practical advices were given. All this contributed to improving the psychological mood of our beneficiaries.

In frames of the small project of Kutaisi Women Support Center “Non-violent Future Generation”, trainings were held in public schools No. 5 and No. 17. Youth groups were provided with information on identifying and early prevention of conflicts. They showed an interest in working with peers in this direction, and learning how to manage conflict situations.

Information meetings were also held with parents of target schools. They received information about the programs of the local municipality.
