Club of Women-Voters in Batumi continues to work actively. Advocacy group tries to address problems raised at the Club meetings through the cooperation with local authorities.

At a meeting held on February 8, members of the Club took part in the workshop on practical advocacy. They studied methods that they will use in practice to address problems.

Club participants again discussed various issues, including global ones related to ecological migrants and IDPs from Abkhazia, who had been left without shelter.

Members of the advocacy group indicated that they will raise these issues in local government. In case funds are not allocated from the budget, they will meet with majoritarian deputy of Batumi to lobby the issue.

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