New Monitoring Report - Support Services: Accessibility and Barriers
Women’s Fund “Sukhumi” is pleased to presents its new monitoring brief titled “Support Services for Women Domestic Violence Survivors: Accessibility and Barriers.” This document is based on qualitative and quantitative research conducted by the Fund "Sukhumi" during May-October 2024, in which over 600 respondents were interviewed across 11 target municipalities: Chokhatauri, Tkibuli, Kobuleti, Baghdati, Vani, Terjola, Samtredia, Senaki, Zugdidi, Zalenjikha, and Khobi.
The brief reflects part of the research findings related to the accessibility of support services for women survivors of violence and the public’s attitude towards these services. It analyzes whom women affected by violence turn to for support, which services are prioritized when choices are available, and what factors hinder access to assistance and adequate support. Additionally, it reflects women’s perspectives on whether Georgia’s current social and political climate may affect the future ability of non-governmental organizations to provide support services to the community and their overall functioning.
