The next day of the work with invited trainers Maka Peradze (Head of the Human Rights Department of the Government of Georgia) and Goga Khatiashvili (Human Rights Expert) was especially useful. They got acquainted with specific information: Georgia's obligations under international agreements, the main priorities of the human rights strategy, the importance of the Council of Europe (Istanbul) Convention in combating violence against women, etc.
The 3rd day was dedicated to getting acquainted with the experience of Zugdidi Municipality. Gogi Revia (Head of the Social Protection and Gender Equality Department of Zugdidi Municipality) focused on the establishment and operation strategy of an inter-agency commission for the prevention of violence against women and domestic violence, protection of victims of violence and assistance to the victims.
Theoretical and practical issues, informal relationships, rest hours – everything was combined with each other and three days spent in Borjomi were impressive for all participants.
The project is implemented with the support of the organization Brot
