An illustrative example of the "women-peacemakers’ base" - a brave fight to protect the rights of women and girls in the "hottest" spots of the world - these and other issues were discussed by local and IDP women, as well as representatives of local authority at the round table meeting conducted at the Women Support Centre of Tskhaltubo.

"Drug addiction" - this was the theme of the round table meeting organized by the participants of Young Leaders School at the school № 15 of Poti. The meeting was attended by 30 ninth-graders.

They discussed issues of drug addiction and its prevention among teenagers.

For many attendees drug addiction is a disease that needs serious treatment and some believe that it is a crime, as an addict harms not only himself or herself and his or her family, but also society.

In the process of prevention teenagers charge state structures and NGOs. They find it necessary that family and society had a humane attitude to drug users, as only in this way they may be healed.
