- Every meeting brought new experiences and positive emotions – as assessed by the members of the Club of Women-Voters.

On summarizing the meeting members of the Club noted that they managed to address several problems during the year. For example, when the local self-government of Kobuleti was planning to deprive the Blinds’ Union of a premise, an advocacy group of the Batumi club appealed to the local government. The problem was resolved in favor of the Blind’s Union.

The meeting participants also said about the importance of exchange meetings: we’ve been acquainted with the activities of the Clubs, operating in western Georgia (Ozurgeti, Kutaisi, Poti), challenges of local population. Cooperation between the club members and the local government is expanding.

The Club members hope that their work on solution of the problems of population will be continued with the support of donor organizations.

The project is implemented with the support of the organization NED – National Endowment for Democracy, USA.

Intensive telephone calls to the studio during the telecast, organized by Fund "Sukhumi" and aired on TV "Rioni", confirmed that there were discussed the vital issues.

Again the telecast highlighted the role of local government in tackling domestic violence and became a kind of continuation of the initiated public debate and quite constructive cooperation with representatives of local government as well as activities planned for future prospects.

What is meant by a national referral mechanism to combat violence, what is the law like regarding the issue of protection of victims and rehabilitation of perpetrators and practices existing in parallel with the law, whether the local government sees its role in solving this problem - a conversation on this topic took place together with intense interactive inclusion of TV viewers.

In the TV plot, prepared by the TV journalists of Fund "Sukhumi" representatives of local government talk about the positive experience of cooperation with Fund and the necessity of addressing the issue of domestic violence and including self-governing units in violence prevention, about the mandatory inclusion of certain funds in local budget.

"The main points of the Action Plan for 2011-2012 adopted by the government imply improvement of national referral mechanisms, and dissemination of information about those mechanisms. We can say that fund "Sukhumi" works much in both directions, and the support of a local government is obvious,"- was said at the telecast.
