Violence Prevention and Legal Support in the Region – Meeting in Khoni

An informational meeting on violence prevention and women’s legal rights was held in Khoni. During the meeting, participants received information about different forms of violence and the legal mechanisms available to protect survivors, including contacting the police, protective and restrictive orders, as well as access to shelters and crisis centers.

Following the meeting, a lawyer provided individual consultations to three women. The discussions covered issues related to domestic violence, psychological violence against a minor (in the context of school bullying), and legal aspects of a criminal case concerning the protection of a family member.

“It is important for women to know that the law is a tool for their protection and that receiving support is truly possible,” the lawyer noted.

Women’s Fund “Sukhumi” continues its work to protect women’s rights and prevent violence, including in the regions, ensuring that legal support is accessible to all women.

The project is implemented with the support of CISU
