A new component of the project - working with the boys

 

  

The project "Strengthening the women’s rights in Western Georgia", has a new component - work with the boys. The aim of this work is to raise the level of knowledge of boys in the issues of violence against women. It is necessary that adolescents realize the main thing: the men are not hereditary aggressive and they have a special role and responsibility.

The first meeting in frames of the project was held in Tskaltubo - with students of the 7th-10th grades.

The project is implemented with the support of the organization Brot

Analysis of conflict - the topic of workshops in Kutaisi, Senaki, Tskaltubo

  

- What associations cause the conflict, what is its connection with violence and why its analysis is necessary - this topic was discussed at workshops, conducted with young people. In Kutaisi, Senaki, Tskaltubo, the participants tried to imitate the negative consequences of the conflict with simulated ideas. Then the analysis was continued by the "conflict tree" method. Most of the participants actively joined the interactive work, the discussion.

Young people believe that analysis provides an opportunity to see the main causes of conflict. It was noted that informing on these issues will reduce aggression and conflict situations in the society.
