During the workshops in conflict management, the young people heard information, on how is the conflict analyzed and why is it necessary.

In Senaki the participants mentioned method of “onions”. The most interesting discussions were held in Poti. They remembered real histories, on the basis of which the analysis were made.

-Analysis of the conflict helps to see mistakes. It is very important, as when there is an obstacle, both sides consider themselves right.

In Tskaltubo the youth considers that the method of “onions” is more understandable for the, so it will be fine to familiarize with the similar information from the early age.

By the opinion of participants, after analyzing own positions, interests and needs, it is easy to manage domestic conflicts. Less conflicts mean that the fact of violation will be decreased.

The problem of violence against women, is perceive by the young people with particular acuteness. According to them, if we want to solve the problem, first of all, you need to think about managing conflicts that occur in families both hidden, or open.

- The company is created by us, it depends on us, what measures will take society in support of the victims. We need to intervene in the conflict at the time, while it is possible to solve the problem – this is the opinion of young participants of the workshops, which were held in Tskhaltubo, Khoni and Poti.

They believe that a rapist should be afraid of the solidarity of society, which will not leave the victim alone. This is very important during the prevention of violence.

Workshops with the women groups were held in Khoni, Senaki, Khurcha (Zugdidi municipality). After discussion of the examples of domestic conflicts, the work was interactive. The participants mentioned that they have never looked at themselves from the side and saw that often they are the initiators of conflicts.

- It's hard to be angry with yourself, but it is easy to keep evil on others.

- Often, when offended at someone, i pour it out on the family - because it is always difficult to beat yourself.

- If people are able to manage personal, internal conflicts there will be fewer family conflicts - such was the opinion of the participants.

At the workshops, it was noted that conflictology should be tough during the workshops, as a subject, especially in the higher classes, as young people will study themselves better, and easily will resolve conflicts of various types.

Workshops with the women were held with the analysis of interesting histories on:”Women Solidarity – one of the Mechanisms of Conflict Management”.

- Prevention of violence and assistance to the victim is impossible without solidarity and support of women, and it is particularly well illustrated during domestic conflicts. If daughter is a victim of violence, she knows that first of all, she will not have support from the mother – mention the participants.

There was named a real story when a young woman, beaten by a husband appeared in the hospital, and his mother claimed to doctors that a box fell on her from the cupboard. Participants noted that in the last period, a lot has changed for the better, but still there is a lack of unity, solidarity of women, and such events help women to express support to the victim.

Gender-based violence and family conflicts-on these issues, interesting discussions took place with women at workshops in Tskaltubo, Zugdidi and Khoni.

Most agree with the view that violence often takes place in families where there is no gender equality, where a woman does not have the opportunity for self-fulfillment and she constantly depends on her husband's choice.

Particularly interesting was the meeting in the village of Ganmukhuri (Zugdidi municipality), where the Fund "Sukhumi" came for the first time. The majority of participants expressed a desire for cooperation, since the topic of violence is their priority.
