In the WSC of Khoni ordinary workshop was conducted. Besides IDP and local women, the men also expressed interest to this meeting and were actively involved in the discussions.

The meeting raised problem spheres of human security. “While the total unemployment, there are many people wishing to be on a place of women, who have a job, but they often have their problems: hard working day, lack of elemental norms of labor security, low salaries in comparison with the men”.

They listed barriers on the way of women seeking the job: head of the organization does not want to take a married woman on a job, officially and unofficially there exists an age cense.

The women shared their observations to each other.

The second part of the workshop touched peaceful potential, international experience. The participants in advance were given the brochures: “peacekeeping and women”. They share their emotions:

“I am under impressions of Argentinian brave mothers and grandmothers of Maia Square.”

“It is surprise, why the women’s peaceful activities are left without attention. Everything about them is aired: their private life, career, but not peaceful activities. We read very interesting histories in the booklets”

“I will try to share my experience to my entire friends”.

The activity was aired by the regional TVs – “Rioni” and “Mega TV”.

The project is implemented with the support of Kvinna till Kvinna,
