Ordinary workshops were held with the women in conflict management. The activities were held in frames of the campaign “16 active days against violation towards the women”. Majority of participants consider that problem of violence is very actual in Georgia and whole society must unite against it.
We know that domestic conflict continue for years, know that nothing changes in these families for better, but we keep silence, because we have lack of solidarity, we do not think that tomorrow someone, close to us, can appear in such a situation and we will bot be able to help them.
These were the opinions of women, who took part in workshops of conflictology. They think that if the woman has much information, she is much stronger and can manage conflicts in family, but she must be sure that will be supported from the side of society.
The workshops were held in Poti, Tskaltubo, Senaki – 31 women took part in them.

As far as we know ourselves, what is familiar about inner, personal conflicts, how do we behave or how do our negative emotions influence on dynamics of domestic conflicts – these and other issues were discussed by the group of women on work-shops, conducted in Tskaltubo, Senaki and Poti.
- We differ from each other. Coming out of it, we act differently. Often we do not mention that incorrect behavior  promote to deepening the conflict- mentioned the participant of the work-shop.

Mentality, personal evaluations and their influence on development of domestic conflicts – these issues were discussed on the workshop in conflict management in Poti, Kutaisi and Koki (Zugdidi Municipality).

Participants – young people tried to analyze the topic: according the scenery, the husband often forgot about the marriage date. Moreover he knows that the wife pays particular attention to it. The conflicts starts mainly for this reason.

According to the young participants of the meeting, people have different values, and this is often the cause of the conflict. During the discussion, it was mentioned that family relations are based on mutual respect. Therefore, the details unimportant for one side, can be important to the other one.

This debate helps young people to think correctly, and take into account the details that contribute to the conflict management.
