In March three informational meetings on legal issues (consultations) were held for IDPs in Women’s Support Centres. The objective of the meetings was to render counseling on issues important to IDPs (human rights, violence and protection mechanisms against violence, problem of resettlement – respectively housing rights and rights and guarantees for the protection of IDPs from groundless eviction, registration of estate, alimony and defining of the amount of alimony).

The special attention was paid to the constitutional rights of IDPs to the selection of premise during the resettlement.

"IDPs are accustomed to the place where they’ve been living for many years, so another change of housing is a very painful process for them”.

It is very important for us to have the detailed information about our rights during the resettlement and the lawyer of Fund "Sukhumi” provides it for us, - said participants of the meetings.  

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