Civil forum on the topic "Woman’s solidarity against gender based violence” organized by Fund "Sukhumi” was held on March 9th in Kutaisi, in the hotel "Tiripebi”.
Unlike previous forums, participants of the forum were members of Fund "Sukhumi”, including moderators and volunteers from Ozurgeti, Batumi, Khobi, Tskhaltubo, Khoni and Poti.
The work style was non-traditional. Participants worked in six different cafes (café of NGOs, Media, youth, Georgian women, Georgian men and café of women’s movement) and discussed the topic from different positions.
The problem of women’s solidarity was discussed in the following direction: What should be done for achieving women’s solidarity against gender violence in the process of reconciliation and politics?
During the presentations there were showed positions of all six groups: women should be more active for gaining solidarity, they should struggle against stereotypes, active inclusion in peacemaking activity, increasing of legal consciousness, economic independence of women etc.
