In January, a lawyer of Fund "Sukhumi" met with women IDPs in Women's Support Centers in Kutaisi, Tskhaltubo and Khoni. Participants of the meetings were provided with information about family law (marriage) based on the current legislation.

The meeting in Khoni was mostly attended by young women. The conversation touched on the negative and positive aspects of early marriage, the expected risks.

They listened with interest to legal counseling - what divorce legally means, and which procedures it includes.

The women, who gathered in Kutaisi, were particularly interested in the issue of IDPs resettlement. It was noted that they have no information about what has changed in the IDP strategy after the change of government.

A woman in the WSC of Tskhaltubo was interested in the issue of payment of alimony for minor children and was provided with individual counseling.

Participants of the meetings mentioned that legal counseling helps them solve problems in legal way.

The project is implemented with the support of the organization EED Evangelischer Entwicklungsdienst.
