Open Dialogue and Cooperation for Peace and Stability

Open dialogue and close cooperation with the European Union Monitoring Mission (EUMM) represent an important precondition for strengthening human security and stability in Georgia’s conflict-affected regions.

A meeting was held at the Tbilisi office of Women Fund “Sukhumi” with representatives of the EUMM Field Office Mtskheta, Ms. Nina Stubb and Ms. Nadezhda Drumeva. The guests were interested in the key findings of our new monitoring report “Why Do Women Leave? The Gender Dimension of Women’s Migration Drivers Through the Lens of Rights, Social Factors, and Intersectional Vulnerability”, available at:

The discussion focused on the main directions of Women Fund “Sukhumi’s” work, including strengthening the human security of IDPs and conflict-affected women, promoting peacebuilding, and preventing and responding to domestic violence.

The European Union Monitoring Mission plays an essential role in fostering stability, dialogue, and confidence-building, particularly in ensuring the security and addressing the needs of populations living along the Administrative Boundary Line. Continued cooperation with civil society organizations working with IDPs and conflict-affected communities remains crucial for ensuring that women’s perspectives and needs are effectively reflected in peace and security policies.
