Meetings differ from each other. Some of them are especially lively, and some are complicated, but, ultimately, meetings affect every participant.

In August, by tradition, there were continued meetings with young women in the Women Support Centers of Kutaisi, Senaki, Khoni, Tshaltubo, Poti and Khurcha. Domestic violence was selected as the main theme of the meetings.

Young people freely discuss this urgent problem. They give examples from life. They are more or less aware of the Law against domestic violence and know about the mechanisms for the protection of victims.

"Woman should not discuss her family problems in public. She should tolerate as much as she can that children grew up in a full-fledged family with a mother and a father," - some girls think so, and most of them loudly declare that women have the same rights as men, and that the time when women were just housewives has already passed.

These girls’ protest changes the thoughts of the participants who have different attitude to family relationships.

The project is implemented with the support of the organization Brot
