Women Fund Sukhumi is pleased to introduce the research report "Dimensions of Human Security: Enhancing Safety and Well-Being in Georgia’s Communities." This research aimed to assess the level of human security across six municipalities in Georgia: Zugdidi, Tsalenjikha, Senaki, Kutaisi, Tskaltubo and Khoni. Engaging a diverse range of participants, the study examines various dimensions of security-including economic, public, food, personal, health, and environmental aspects-offering insights into the unique challenges faced by different community groups.
The main finding of the study is that the overall sense of security across different categories and dimensions in the municipalities is at a middle point, with most participants rating their sense of security at level 3 on a 5-point scale, indicating moderate perceptions of safety and well-being. The report presents recommendations for addressing these challenges and improving overall community well-being and safety.
The meeting discussed issues that need to be resolved in the settlement: damaged garbage bins, faulty drainage system, lack of road barriers.
The information meeting was held with women living in the house No 2 of the first lane of Nikea Street, No. 13 - in Kutaisi.
