In workshops held in Kutaisi, Tskhaltubo and Senaki, young people fix their positions regarding women's rights. Most of them believe that informing about their own right should take place at an early age, as the violence begins with the violation of their rights.
During the discussions, the participants gave real-world examples and analyzed how much they know about their rights, is a compromise solution to the problem and whether they can effectively manage conflict situations.
- Violence against women in our country is one of the most serious problems, caused by the shortage of information. We will continue discussion on this subject, as the girls must know their rights. This will greatly help us to avoid conflict situations, in order not to be in the role of the victim, - said one of the participants.

The topic of work-shops with the youth was – personal conflicts and their negative influence on domestic conflicts.
The participants openly spoke, how to rule their emotions and what methods are used to stop the conflict.
The young people consider that views of generations change. The current generation is more fighting and does not like to back down. In some cases it is perceived as tragedy to say - I'm sorry ... Personal confrontation creates a good basis for the development of family conflicts.
According to participants, the problem is that young people do not have information about the conflict and cannot control their emotions.
Information obtained at the workshops will help them to explore themselves and to properly manage family conflicts.
Workshops were held in Koki, Khoni, Kutaisi with participation of 37 people.

Many live stories women remembered in the workshops on conflict. It turned out that they have accumulated examples of successful and unsuccessful negotiations. There were also those who have experience in this area:

- I have repeatedly intervened in the conflict between neighbors. Experience has taught me a lot. I learn till today. Not everyone is able to be a facilitator, can. If a person is impulsive, it is better not to interfere. So it is possible to strain the situation even more.

The meeting participants were informed about the meaning of facilitation, mediation, when and how to be involved in order to resolve the conflict.

According to the women received information will give them more courage to be involved in family conflicts in order to avoid violence.

What is self-assessment and what is its connection with development of family conflicts. How to manage conflict and avoid violence - in this direction discussions were held during workshops on conflict with women's groups in Khoni, Kutaisi and Khurcha (Zugdidi Municipality).
- Conflict management is impossible without self-evaluation. Over the years, I am a victim of violence. I thought that if I could not have a child, I should endure everything. When I started to attend the meetings, I found out that I became a victim. Now I'm a completely different person. There are no conflicts in the family, I am respected, - on the background of discussion of these stories many interesting considerations were heard.
Participants believe that patience is not always the right strategy, and does not regulate the conflict.
One of the major components in conflict management is correct self-evaluation. Workshops of the Fund "Sukhumi" helped in it.

The workshops in Kutaisi, Senaki, Khurcha (Zugdidi Municipality), was attended by women from 30 to 60.

- How our parents brought us, why we make the same mistakes in the relationship with our children, why there are conflicts of generations - interesting discussions were held on these topics.

- We often heared from parents that our generation does not understand anything, behaves badly. When we became parents, we have already begun to repeat this phrase.

- The reason of family conflicts is wrong education. We must not bring up boys as "rulers" of the family, and the girls do not have to constantly put up with everything.

- I always thought that my mother was very strict. We often argued with her on issues such as go to a girlfriend's birthday or not, a walk with friends. In a relationship with children, I repeated the same thing. Unfortunately, I later realized that my mother was always right. Probably my children will also understand it.

At the end of the discussion the participants listened to a psychologist and received appropriate advices.
