The rapid assessment aimed to identify the needs for planning educational trainings in three areas: civic participation, social work, e-services.
City Hall officials supported the initiative of the Women Fund "Sukhumi". The online / phone survey method was used to work with the respondents. A simple online questionnaire was elaborated, which was filled in by 184 respondents.
A rapid assessment has highlighted the issues on which the City Hall representatives need more information, qualification and skills.

"Today, the Internet has a great place in terms of information, and I think that existence of such a serious information base in this space is important."
"This site collected everything that governmental or non-governmental organizations should do. That is why we must be actively involved in the process of its popularization".
These are some responses that were identified in frames of monitoring.
In February, an internal monitoring of the project "Digital Resource Center for Cervices of Violence Victims " was conducted, the effectiveness and achievements of the activities were evaluated, the lessons learned were identified and recommendations for improvement of activities were developed.
As a result of information meetings and cooperation with local self-governments, the identification of cases of violence and application has increased. It is followed by the response, which improves the level of trust before the beneficiaries.
Information meetings were held in Vani, Tsalenjikha, Chokhatauri and Terjola Women Support Centers. The services of the Fund "Sukhumi" are actively used to respond to women's problems - consultations with a psychologist and a lawyer, and if necessary - a full rehabilitation course.
According to the mobilizers, the increase in application was promoted by information meetings, which were attended by representatives of various communities.

In February, the forum-theater operated both live and online. Rehearsals were held, videos were recorded. The young actors held two performances in the central parks of Kutaisi. Despite the fact that the theatre did not have many viewers, the performance is still important in terms of violence prevention.
Monologues of forum-theater actors were posted on the Facebook page of the Women Fund "Sukhumi", which were introduced to hundreds of people.

It all happens after our meetings. One meeting / training is held per month and from training to training children express their views: what they have learned, what they like and what they worry about, in different ways.
Video clip, prepared by Samtredia Group, information meetings held by Zugdidi and Kobuleti groups and many else: diagrams, letters to parents, comics, videos, paintings, presentations...
We call these events initiative ones, because they reflect our training. The topics of the meetings held in the ten youth centers in February were: conflict, ethics, aesthetics, relationships of parents and children. The activities carried out by the leaders of the centers were also dedicated to these issues.
All activities are posted on the Facebook pages of the Fund "Sukhumi" and schools and the number of views is thousands ... 787 people took part in the activities. The activity would be much higher if the schools had not switched to online teaching. The youth direction of the Women Fund "Sukhumi" is still quite popular and this is the best result of our active work.
