Khurcha/Koki Women Support Center (Zugdidi municipality) was actively involved in the campaign of “16 days of active against violence towards women”. From November 25 to December 10, there was a cascade of events: a round table, an action, information meetings, consultations of a lawyer and a psychologist, an essay and drawing competition. Vulnerable groups were given masks sewn by women victims of violence at the Day Rehabilitation Center of the Fund “Sukhumi”. Also, online trainings were held with teachers, pupils and parents of target schools on the topic of violence and bullying. It was noted, that during pandemic, the number of cases of violence increased and such meetings give women hope that they are not alone.
The project is implemented with the support of the organization Brot
