The main topic of the psychological group meetings was the talks on "How to build a harmonious relationship in the family" and information about the International Campaign "16 active days against gender-based violence".
Understanding, respect, attention are the basic values of each family. Listening to your partner, and meeting his desires, you will get a strong family and relationships based on trust and love - such was the advice of a psychologist after active discussion.
In November, 9 psychological counseling meetings were held in Kutaisi in places of compact settlement of IDPs (63 participants), and 3 individual consultations were held on crises in family relationships.
The project is implemented with the support of the organization Brot
für die Welt – Evangelischer Entwicklunsdienst (Germany)
Planned legal informative – consultation meetings were held in WSCs of Kutaisi, Khoni, Tskaltubo, Senaki, Poti and Khurcha (Zugdidi Municipality).
During the meetings there were discussions of different actual issues – domestic violence, law against violence, reasons of domestic conflicts, procedures of divorce.
Meeting participants also received individual consultations. For example one woman, who had a conflict in family, by the advice of the lawyer addressed the branch of GYLA and now she feels herself more protected.
One of the beneficiaries in Kutaisi, who is the victim of violence, together with the lawyer addressed the lawyer of the fund “Sukhumi” for obtaining the status of a victim
that would give her the opportunity to stay in the shelter and continue the rehabilitation course. We prepared all necessary documents and sent to the Commission, giving the status of the victim in Tbilisi. February 17 there was held a meeting, the woman was given the status of the victim, she can already reside in the shelter and continue psychotherapy.
This is one of the cases from the report of a lawyer of the Kutaisi Women Support Center.
In February she held 12 informational and consultative meetings in IDP collective centers of Kutaisi.
