In Poti was held a regular meeting of the Club of Women Voters of Fund "Sukhumi”. Along with the other issues, members were acquainted with the package of legislative changes. The package developed by the National Network of Protection from Violence, together with representatives of government and non-governmental organizations, aims to provide legal and social protection of single mothers.

It was noted that according to the statistics of the past 13 years, 30,000 children in Georgia do not have data about their fathers in their birth certificates. This means that there are thousands of women among us who have taken the burden of single mothers, but they do not have any support from the state.

Members of the club believe that the law should be reviewed and it would be good if the Parliament decides to change the law.

"The adoption of the law will help to improve the social situation of single mothers, - said participants of the meeting. They expressed their support by signing a letter-appeal to the deputies of the Parliament.

The project is implemented with the support

of the organization NED – National Endowment for Democracy (USA)
