Society needs information on the topic of domestic violence, practical
use of existing mechanisms against violence and social cooperation between the
state and public institutions. This was evident on a one-day trainings
conducted by fund "Sukhumi" on July 24, 25, 26, with the financial
support of the organization "World Vision" for the representatives of
Didveli, Dimi, Pirveli and Meore Obcha, and Sviri communities.
At the end of the training there were made the following
comments:
"As a school principal I really needed information that you have
provided," "We already know how to identify violence cases, how to
help victims. I will try to share my knowledge with friends"; "As rural
district police representatives we often have to intervene in family conflicts.
We are grateful for the fact that we have provided us with the information on state
regulations and their practical use, "Once again we saw how complicated is
the problem of domestic violence, how far comprehensive approach is needed to
address it, how important is prevention of violence".
The training was conducted in an interactive mode, sometimes - on the
background of intense debates. There was also a theoretical material, the
specific stories and strategies elaborated to address them.
Special emotions were caused by youth forum-theatre performances of Fund
"Sukhumi”. There were identified the prospects for their future cooperation
with educational institutions. |
