Members of the Club of Women-Voters in Ozurgeti discussed a legislative initiative of Fund "Sukhumi”. Participants think that the initiative about issuance of 600 Gel to all women giving birth is very important. In case of necessity they are ready to collect signatures to support the aforementioned bill. Members of the Club discussed the supposed lobbyists who would submit the project to the Parliament.
