On the debate-clubs, conducted in Tskaltubo, the young people talked about their rights. The participants consider that struggle against violence should be started with informing process, as they think that in most cases, victim women have no information about their rights.

 Conversation about women’s rights in the Kutaisi youth center was followed by interesting debates. Woman’s important role in our country was underlined and the number of domestic violence victims was mentioned. – Protection of women’s rights comprises prevention mechanisms and must be carries out daily.

In the public school of Koki – Zugdidi Region, the mentality and stereotypes are so strong that disturbs in the process of rights protection envisaged by the law.

Informing has a great force, that is why the girls must gain knowledge  that will help them not to become violence victims.
