Dialogue in Kobuleti

In the recommendations of the latest research of the Women Fund “Sukhumi” “Assessment of Effectiveness of the Municipalities’ Preventive Measures to Combat Violence Against Women/Domestic Violence”, an important role is given to the promotion of an effective system of coordination and information exchange between  local units responsible for social work.

On the initiative of the Women Fund "Sukhumi", in cooperation with the educational resource center, the health and social protection service, the department for the protection and support of children's rights and the gender equality council, an information exchange meeting was held in Kobuleti Resource Center.

The meeting participants discussed a number of topical issues related to the problems of violence against women/domestic violence, violence prevention, psychosocial and other needs of adolescents and their families.

The meeting showed how important the coordinating role of resource centers with local referal entities, especially with the City Hall services is. Ways to address specific issues identified during the dialogue were outlined.

The project is implemented with the support of the organization Brot
