A photo call was organized on October 11 in the youth centers of the six cities of Western Georgia (Kutaisi, Senaki Tshaltubo, Tshaltubo, Khoni, Poti) and in the village Khurcha (Zugdidi district). Through photos young people expressed their protest against all forms of violence against women and showed that they are against gender imbalance in the family, discrimination, and early marriages, and that children should grow up in a safe and loving environment.

According to the UN Resolution which was adopted on October 11, 2012, the International Day of the Girl Child is celebrated every year on the 11^th of October. The purpose of this day is to draw attention to the problem of gender imbalance between boys and girls, which results in unequal access to education and health care, poverty, discrimination, and forced marriages all over the world.
