Actions in Western Georgia - united protest against violence against women







Nobody is surprised by the actions of Fund "Sukhumi", since we express protest against violence against women in such a manner for more than 10 years.

 

Kutaisi

At 2 p.m. participants of the action – members of Fund "Sukhumi”, Fund of Women-Entrepreneurs, representatives of partner NGOs, activists of Youth Centre, actors of school forum-theatres, journalists were standing near the Mayor’s office of Kutaisi.

 

There were more slogans than in previous years, but the special attention was drawn to one of them:  "Over the past few months seven women were killed in Western Georgia as a result of violence!

According to the UN, every third woman in the world is a victim of violence!

SOS – violence is beside us!

By tradition action was held in silent.

In parallel there were distributed leaflets, white ribbons and there were recorded television and radio interviews.
