Jvartskhma – a new place for cooperation

Information meeting with an active part of the local community was held in the village Jvartskhma (Chokhatauri municipality). Participants were informed about the experience of women's organizations in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ukraine, Armenia, and Georgia. Particular attention was paid to the work of the Women Fund “Sukhumi” - all this is described in the guidebook "Prevention and response to gender-based violence in war and post-war conditions - experience and recommendations of women’s NGOs".

The participants got acquainted with the strategy that our organization uses in the issues of post-conflict rehabilitation, assistance to victims of violence/risk groups, and violence prevention.

According to participants, it is difficult to make progress in reducing violence without deep public awareness of the problem and understanding of its own responsibility. The areas where they see their active role were identified and they are ready to work closely with the Fund “Sukhumi”.

The project is implemented with the support of the Urgent Action Fund for Women's Human Rights
