Women initiative groups have an active working period in Koki and Didi Nedzi (Zugdidi Municipality). The members of the group are involved in the research: focus groups and in-depth interviews. The aim of the research is to identify the barriers that hinder the involvement of women in socio-political and economic activities.
Koki Youth Initiative Group has a different agenda. At the ordinary meeting, the lawyer of the Fund "Sukhumi" discussed the topic of "early marriage". Underage marriage is still a problem in Georgia. Besides the fact that early marriage is a human rights violation, it is accompanied by negative consequences for physical and mental health.
The feedback from the group members at the end of the meeting was following:
- The meeting was informative, interesting and important.
- I learned about the risks and methods of punishment after the early marriage.
- It is necessary to hold similar meetings with adults.
The project is implemented with the support of the USAID
