Tamuna Kukhalashvili (Khoni) – "Meetings held by fund "Sukhumi" are important from the informational point of view. At these meetings we obtained information on international instruments, familiarized with the UN Resolution 1325, CEDAW, and the Beijing Platform. Every woman should know about the existence of these documents because they support women and serve to protect their rights".
