The second
programme for the cycle "Peace in the home, peace in the world” was transferred
on air of the TV company "Rioni”. The
programme summarized the results of an informational campaign.
What the
resonance of the informational campaign was; what situation was revealed by the
survey, informational meetings, public discussions, topics that directly
correspond to the spirit of the campaign, how productive was cooperation with
various community groups, how the ruling circles and mass media were included
in the campaign - these and other issues were discussed by the participants of
the telecast, including staff members of the Fund, representatives of society, members
of local government of Khoni and Kutaisi.
Particular
attention was paid to the civil forum, organized by the Fund
"Sukhumi" on December 9, in Kutaisi with the participation of
representatives of the legislative and executive power of Western Georgia,
NGOs, media where they determined forms of participation of local authorities
in the prevention of violence against women and girls and assistance to victims
and the prospects for cooperation in the non-governmental sector, other local
institutions.
"We
should welcome the fact that the main legislative body of the country in
parallel with the ongoing discussions in the local government comprehends
implementation of appropriate policies and practices relating to the
elimination of violence, since the existence of the law is not only "turning
on the green light", but without existing of the correct approaches to the
problem and the relevant resources it is impossible to solve the problem” -
said participants of the programme.
The
radiobroadcast of the radio "Rioni", which covered many interesting
and relevant issues was devoted to the active inclusion of Fund
"Sukhumi" in the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence Campaign.
The
project is implemented with the support of the organization Brot
