Resolution 1325 of the UN Security Council, first of all envisages the increased attention to the problems of women living in conflict areas. That is why a meeting was held in the village Khurcha (Zugdidi Municipality) - women and girls were invited, as well as IDPs from nearby villages (Koki, Khurcha, Kakhati, Ganmukhuri, Orsantia, Didi Nedzi).
The meeting was attended by representatives of the US State Department and the UN Women's Organization. They listened attentively to the needs of women in terms of movement and health care. Solving these and other problems is very important for the safety and well-being of women and their families.
The meeting was held in frames of the project “Strengthening the capacity of regional and local administrations in processes of localization of the National Action Plan 1325 The UN Security Council and activation of dialogue and the participation of women, including the most marginalized ones, in these processes”.
