In April, the psychologist of Fund "Sukhumi” conducted 6 group meetings at Women's Support Centers. Participants of the meetings were women aged 19 to 60 years.

Conversations with the psychologist referred to the fundamental rights of women - whether woman is protected from violence, and whether she has any hope for the help from the State. According to the participants of the meetings, assistance to women victims of violence from the State is still insufficient, as the law on domestic violence is not operating well.

They stressed that still there are stereotypical attitudes society, because victim of violence is forced to endure insults, as she is sure that society sympathizes her little.

Participants also talked about the special role of non-governmental organizations and the importance of talking with the psychologist.
