The participants of the workshop spoke about the campaign "16 active days against gender-based violence" and its meaning.
How to help the victim of violence, who enters into referral subjects, how the law determines their authority - these issues were discussed with the women participants of the workshops. In their opinion, a person should feel responsible and timely intervene in family conflicts, since the likelihood of becoming a victim of violence for woman is high.
During the discussion, when talking about referral subjects, a special emphasis was put on the responsibility of the school. As it was mentioned, the school is one of the serious links that should actively join in the prevention of violence.
Workshops were held in the Women Support Centers of Kutaisi, Senaki, Tskaltubo.
