There was created a special web-page in the social network, where the youth will conduct discussions regarding gender issue. 

The project is implemented with the support

 of the UN Women’s Fund for Gender Equality

In the WSCs of Senaki, Kutaisi and village Khurcha (Zugdidi region) the meetings of the psychologist of the fund “Sukhumi” were conducted.

The work was carried out by the mental maps of COPE by the model “We and Miracle”. It helps to gain skill of managing the crisis, to look on problem moments of life in a new way. The women speak about traumatic events and are free of traumas. The sense of dignity is raised among them and they try to find the unique way to gain the strength. No one tried to hide their fear or embellish the situation.

The psychologist worked at first time using the sea stones. The women were too impressed. They spoke about their associations. One of them took the stone and began to talk about the health problem: - “I have realized that one must obey the recommendations of the doctor and get rid of the gall bladder, this is optimal variant. I stand the pain for many years”.

The project is implemented with the support of the organization Brot
