Migration of women is in close connection with family conflicts. This question was raised by the participants during the workshop in conflict management, which was held together with the group of young people in Poti, Zugdidi (Koki) and Kutaisi. By the opinion of participants, while speaking about violence, we mean women migration, as in Georgia, coming out of the social condition, each tenth woman is potential victim of violence.

The participants mentioned that the question is painful for everyone and finding the ways out is too difficult, as the reason is so global, that its solution is impossible in nearest future.

After discussion the participants agreed that woman, who goes abroad for work, is already a victim and first of all she needs support from the side of family members, in order to avoid psychological problems.

On May 5 members of Gender Advisory Council of Senaki started the cycle of workshops on the issue of gender and domestic violence in frames of the project “Prevention of domestic violence in Senaki municipality”.

Workshops were held in 6 village communities (Akhaltsikhe, Nokalakevi, Eki, Zana, Nosiri, Gajeti) for the members of gender initiative groups, formed there. Number of participants is more than 100. The project is co-financed by local self-government of Senaki municipality and fund “Sukhumi”. Representatives of Gamgeoba and majoritarian candidates of all village communities of Senaki are actively involved in the project. Similar workshops will be held in 8 village communities else.

On the background of interesting discussions there were held workshops on conflict with women's groups in Senaki, Tskaltubo and village Kukhi (Khoni municipality). The discussed topic: "Migration of women, reasons of family conflicts and management mechanisms" aroused interest of the participants.

It turned out that the issue of migration is quite actual as it regards many families. Often the reason of family conflict is a small income, and women are looking for jobs abroad. But there are cases when the husbands spent money received from wives for alcohol and then new conflicts starts. It seems to be a vicious circle from which it is difficult to get out. By the opinions of participants responsibility of the state should be raised. Women need more support in employment, to prevent the problem.

In cooperation with the Association of kindergartens of Tsqaltubo Municipality, fund  "Sukhumi" held a workshop on "Gender and gender approaches in the field of upbringing and education of preschool age children." The workshop was attended by 33 participants - managers and teachers of 16 kindergartens.

The work was held using different methods, active discussions.
