"I was raised in a traditional Georgian family, where man is the main and woman depends on him. The same situation is all the families around me. I took it for granted until I began to attend meetings of Fund "Sukhumi". Much has changed in me. Woman has the ability and capacity to manage family. Husband and wife should take decisions together".

 "I am a supporter of gender equality. We - women have a huge unused potential. The emergence of women in any sphere, positively balances situation. This meeting gave me a special incentive - to be more active. Time, situation is being changed. We must create a new society. I do not see anything wrong in equality. Why should not we work to achieve it?"- such opinions could be heard at a meeting with young women in Koki. The theme of the meeting - "Gender Equality" - turned to be interesting for the participants. At the end of the meeting it was notable that some changes began in their consciousness: the girls have an ambition to start work on gender equality with themselves and their families.

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