In April, the topic of mobilization meetings was chosen "Advocacy and its stages." Mobilizers of Women Support Centers have been trained on this topic more than once and this is quite logical, as they often have to visit different instances to advocate the problems. This time they explained to the beneficiaries how they can carry out advocacy, which steps they should pass. They were given specific examples and information about the services existing in the municipalities. 27 meetings were held in 9 municipalities.
