The broadcast highlighted meetings of fund "Sukhumi" in Khurcha. A gynecologist and a psychologist of Fund "Sukhumi" met with the IDPs living there. The psychologist spoke with participants about sexual culture.  - "This is a very topical theme, it would be better if teenagers will receive information in family, rather than on the street”. The Youth Forum-theatre visited the village Koki. The audience actively participated in the discussion of scenes. There are reflected informational meetings with girls on gender violence. The broadcast was also about the role of mass media in the eradication of domestic violence: - "This topic is not sufficiently covered in the media, it would be better if journalists will choose an appropriate form for covering events, it is not enough only to raise the issue. Media can play an important role in this regard".   The project is implemented with the support of the organization EED Evangelischer Entwicklungsdienst.
