Meetings held in Women Support Centers are a source of new information for participants. In addition to information, the meetings also aim to communicate with each other and exchange opinions.

Women speak loudly about their own and common problems, then discuss ways to solve them, make plans...

The Fund “Sukhumi” always supports them in this process and tries to respond to women's needs.

A psychologist of the Women Fund “Sukhumi” held meetings at the Women Support Centers in Senaki, Khobi, Tskaltubo, Vani and Terjola. During the meetings, she spoke about the harm of violence regarding children.

- Most children from families with violent atmosphere, show aggressive behavior. From an early age, a child has aggressive reactions, which persists for a long period of time. The outside world is hostile to the child, the sense of danger is heightened, and his reaction is likely to be aggressive. Therefore, parents should protect children from an aggressive environment from an early age, - notes psychologist Eka Kvachakidze.

Women consider the psychologist's advice useful, and meetings with her are very important for them.

What problems do women have in different communities, how do they solve these problems, how are cases of domestic violence identified and what challenges do they face - these are the main topics discussed at the mobilization meetings held in the Women Support Centers.

According to the participants, monthly meetings are a source of information for them - they learn new information, talk about their problems, try to help identify cases of violence and help women to solve community problems. They talked about the importance of economic support programs. They believe that women do not have the necessary skills to turn an idea into a project and have their own income.

Para-specialists actively work with mobilizers to identify cases of domestic violence and victim support services.

Over the course of a month, more than 150 women received information about victim support services at Women Support Centers. Ten women were redirected to a psychologist for consultation. Three women improved their condition with the help of a lawyer.

Thanks to the strengthening of social work, women are supported more e

Useful advices for women

The meetings identified problems in the relationship between parents and children. Parents talk about their children's behavioral problems, but children do not like the situation in their families.

As noted during the meetings, family stability is determined by the ability of family members to resolve conflicts constructively. Personality distortion is an ordinary condition in a family where is an atmosphere of threat, cruelty and conflicts reigns. Unfortunately, there are many dysfunctional families around us which have no strength to meet the needs of their family members in terms of their personal and spiritual growth.

The psychologist of the Women Fund “Sukhumi” held meetings at the Women Support Centers of Terjola, Samtredia, Vani, Tsalenjikha and Khobi. Her advice was useful for women, so they always look forward to the meetings.

The main topic of the meetings was "What are the characteristics of rapists?"

"Perhaps most of them did not have support and upbringing in childhood, had low self-esteem and were socially isolated. Low self-esteem affects marital relationships. External stresses and life crises, the inability to make decisions are special. The rapist does not know how to look ahead and does not think about the results of his actions," notes Eka Kvachakidze, a psychologist at the Women Fund “Sukhumi”.

The psychologist held online meetings at the Women Support Centers of Zugdidi, Tsalenjikha, Tskaltubo, Khoni and Vani. There were also individual consultations.
