An information meeting was held in Senaki representation of Social Services Agency, the parties got acquainted with the program, supporting the crisis families and consultative services of the Women Support Center.

A meeting was also held with a lawyer-consultant. The topic of conversation was "Georgian Law on the Elimination of Domestic Violence / Violence Against Women, Protection and Assistance to Victims ".and mechanisms of protection.

Gender violence, discrimination – discussions on these issues were held with young people during the workshops in Poti, Lanchkhuti and Khoni.

Participants discussed the model of Georgian family. They talked about the facts when equality is violated, and when a woman becomes an object of violence.

Young people believe that according to social stereotypes a man is a dominant, and this contributes to the development of conflicts in the family.

In their opinion, informing is one of the mechanisms for overcoming the problem, and therefore they give particular importance to meetings.
