Informational meetings within the framework of the project "Awareness raising and mobilization in political processes of women IDPs” are continuing. The objective of these meetings is to acquaint women IDPs with the gender situation in Georgia and other countries, with changes in Election legislation and the Law about local self-government.

Three informational meetings were conducted in Women’s Support Centre in Khoni. Participants of the meetings were women IDPs, girls – senior pupils, who will firstly participate in elections. Meetings showed that women IDPs did not have information about elections. They did not know election lists, women-candidates and their programmes.

Participants mentioned that such meetings should be carried out in other collective centres to provide society with the information about Election legislation, structure, functions and authority of the local self-government.

The project is implemented with the support of international organization Conciliation Resources (Great Britain).
