A telecast with participation of the project participants and guests, invited by Fund "Sukhumi” was aired on TV "Rioni” on February 24.

The topic of the telecast was "Legal and social mechanisms of domestic violence". The guests of the telecast discussed the topic and answered questions of viewers who called in the studio. 

During the telecast there an interactive poll was conducted to reveal the position of the population - whether they consider it necessary to adapt the monetary penalties on violators. According to the votes received 88 percent supported this position, while 12 percent were against. 

"Until the television is so uncontrolled and there is an obvious propaganda of violence, the society will be powerless against it" - this remark of a viewer expresses the mood of quite a large part of society, which is outraged by the growing aggression in the society.

The project is implemented with the support of the organization EED Evangelischer Entwicklungsdienst.

- History of Abkhaz ethnos - this interesting topic was discussed at the meeting of the Club of young women held in Women's Support Centers in Kutaisi, Khoni, Tskhaltubo, Khurcha (Zugdidi district). At the meetings were invited teachers, famous people who spoke about Abkhaz ethnos and Georgian-Abkhaz relations.

A particular interest in the Abkhaz ethnos was expressed by the participants of the meeting in the village of Khurcha (border zone). According to the participants of the meetings, the knowledge of the aforementioned issues is important to them, since young people living in the border zone are in lack of such information.

The project is implemented with the support of Kvinna till Kvinna, women’s Swedish Foundation.
