A TV programme dedicated to the launch of the 16 Days of Activism Campaign by Fund "Sukhumi” was aired in live of TV "Rioni” on November 24. According to the representatives of Fund "Sukhumi" an international 16 days campaign against gender violence is held annually from November 25 to December 10, and is covered by media. Therefore social advertisements of Fund "Sukhumi” are screened by regional and central TV channels throughout the campaign. The programme participants were Fund’s activists, famous people, journalists, psychologists, and forum-theatre actors. An interesting discussion showed once again the severity and topicality of the problem of violence, the need to join society, various government structures and social institutions to address the problem. "Domestic violence leaves a big imprint on the human psyche rather than wars, social upheavals, because it regards to human relations. Therefore, we believe that the work of Fund "Sukhumi" in this area is so important and valuable, therefore society supports it so actively"- said the programme participants. The audience had possibility to receive information about measures planned by Fund "Sukhumi” in Western Georgia. The journalists in the studio were given calendars, posters and blue scarves which they will wear during the campaign to show the solidarity.
