Workshop Held in Kutaisi with a Women’s Group on Identifying and Responding to Domestic Violence

In Kutaisi, a workshop was held with a women’s target group on the topic: “Identifying, supporting, and responding to domestic violence against women in local communities.” The meeting was attended by 10 women and was facilitated by a community group leader.

During the workshop, participants discussed in detail the different forms of violence, the signs that may indicate a victim, and the ways to strengthen community-based support and response mechanisms. Special emphasis was placed on the importance of not normalizing silence around violence and on the responsibility of society not to remain indifferent to violence in another family.

Participants evaluated the meeting as a valuable, necessary, and practical source of knowledge. According to them, the information received will help them better identify signs of violence, respond appropriately, and seek support when needed.

The meeting once again highlighted that informed women and empowered communities are key foundations for preventing violence.

The project is implemented with the support of CISU
