Members of the Club of Women-Voters gathered in Fund "Sukhumi”. At the beginning of the meeting participants got information about the training on the theme "Advocacy and effective communication” in which participated four members of Kutaisi Club.

During the meeting were discussed the problems which can be solved at local level.

For example, there is no lighting at Nikea Street. There is not an appropriate traffic sigh in front of one of the schools, so the risk of car accidents is high. Advocacy group has already started to work on those problems solution.

Participants also discussed the problems that can be solved only at higher level. For example, maternity benefits for unemployed women, special programs for people with hepatitis C. They decided to start work on an active lobbying of such problems.

At the meeting members of the club also planned to invite to the club meeting women parliamentarians and acquaint them with the work of the club.

The project is implemented with the support of the organization NED – National Endowment for Democracy, USA.
