“With knowledge against violence” is the title of a small project implemented by the Women Support Centre in Tskhaltubo.

Information meetings in administrative units of Tskhaltubo Municipality and with representatives of local self-government on raising the role of self-government in prevention of violence against women and assistance to victims were carried out within the framework of the project. Participants of the meetings got information on the work of Fund “Sukhumi”, and specifically on the activities of the Women Support Centre. They were also given leaflets.

The final training for local government representatives was conducted on the 5th of December in the Assembly Hall of the Mayor’s office of Tskhaltubo. Participants of the training elaborated recommendations and proposals, which were realized in different villages. A short video about the training was prepared and transmitted on air of the TV company “Rioni”.

The project is implemented with the support of the organization Brot
