On July 8-15 on the initiative of Women Support Centers of Kutaisi, Khoni, Tskaltubo, Senaki, Poti and Khurcha (Zugdidi Municipality), in nearby villages, a circle of workshops was held on: “gender and gender violence”, attended by 73 people. Participants heard information about gender, talked about women’s rights, gender violence, gave concrete examples and discussed preventive ways.
Participants positively evaluated workshops and mentioned that the women are less informed about their rights in the villages and similar meetings are too important for them.
The meetings were attended by representatives of villages, teachers of kindergartens and schools. The issues discussed on workshops were interesting for men and boys as well.
The project is implemented with the support of the organization Brot
für die Welt – Evangelischer Entwicklunsdienst (Germany)
