Khoni Women's Support Center carried out an interesting mini-project in the villages: Gocha Jikhaishi, Didi Kukhi and Nakhakhulevi. The project "Sanitary and hygienic culture - the guarantee of a harmonious family" was dedicated to the International campaign "16 active days against gender-based violence". Within the framework of the project, information leaflets were printed and information meetings with the doctor were held. Only women (from 25 years old) were present at the meetings, since the conversation concerned not only sanitary and hygienic norms and seasonal problems (common cold, flu). The accent was also made on the popularization of screening (uterus and breast) – majority do not know that it can be done free of charge and very near, in Kutaisi.
Rural women do not have the comfort of such meetings and, in their opinion, it was a special project, with interesting topics presented by the doctor.
The project is implemented with the support of the organization Brot
