The theme of the meetings carried out with young women was "Communication and communicative relations between people”.

Frank conversations at the meetings showed that the theme was very interesting for the young women.

Tamuna Patsatsia (village Khurcha) said: "The generation which establishes contacts via Internet, social networks, messages, really needs such meetings”.

"I always considered myself communicative but sometimes I was too rude. After the trainings and workshops I understood that there is a big difference between communication and rudeness. Now I am more careful and attentive in relations”, - Irina Putkaradze (Tskhaltubo).

In October were held four meetings in Kutaisi, Tskhaltubo, Khoni and Khurcha. Participants of the meetings were 63 young women.

 

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

As a result of the ndertaken activities, the League of Women Voters will establish contacts with local government structures. The project anticipates the intense work of the League in cities of Western Georgia - Kutaisi, Tskaltubo, Khoni, Khobi, Zugdidi, Poti, Ozurgeti and Batumi, where the advocacy and public awareness-raising groups will develop the proposals to protect local population interests and submitted to the local authorities and political parties for further advocacy and lobbying.

The highly qualified members of the League of Women Voters will inform the other women in their communities about the advocay campaigns and importance of participating in elections, that will lead to increased women's participation in the parliamentary elections.

A new stage of informational-educational activity joins the television and radio programmes, publishing of the journal, conduction of workshops, where women will learn how to conduct debates and advocacy campaigns, develop advocacy and lobbying strategies and enhance their leadership skills.

All activities, planned within the project, will be directed to improving women's opportunities with the purpose of their full-fledged engagement in political processes. The representatives of society groups, media, government and political parties will be involved in the public debates. During the entire project period the meetings are planned with political parties aimed at supporting women in the party structures, as well as contributing to close cooperation between the League of Women Voters and the political parties and supporting potential women candidates in the forthcoming parliamentary elections.

We believe that the project will contribute to increasing women’s political capacities, developing of civil society, providing the positive impact on gender situation for the next parliamentary elections and achieving peace, stability and democratic principles in the country.
