This year the Fund "Sukhumi" began to work with the boys for the first time. This is a cycle of meetings with the same group during six months.

Aim of this project component is to increase the level of knowledge of boys in the topic of violence against women. It is necessary for the adolescents to realize the main thing: men hereditary are not aggressive and they have a special role and responsibility.

The work was carried out in the schools of the municipalities of Kutaisi, Tskaltubo, Khoni, Terjola, Senaki, Poti, Zugdidi, Lanchkhuti and Ozurgeti.

In July, the last, sixth meeting was held with each group. There were final exercises and games, talking about the negative side of public stereotypes, the analogue of the game "What? Where? When?". There was also shown the animation. The boys even managed to play small role games.

During the feedback, participants frankly talked about the effectiveness of the six-month work. They noted that each meeting was interesting and informative for them. The obtained knowledge and experience will be useful to them at every stage of life.

And again: they regret that the project has come to the end. However, they know that now the new groups will pass such an interesting six-month cycle of work.

Prevention of violence among the youth, mechanisms of protection and the role of society – this actual topic was discussed during informational meetings of the youth clubs, which were held in school No 3 of Senaki, in orphanage of Kutaisi and village Didi Nedzi (Zugdidi municipality).

The participants got interested in discussing the issue. They actively joined the discussion. “Topic of violence is actual for me, the statistic is alarming, therefore it is necessary to conduct similar meetings on a broader scale” – mentioned one of the participants.

"It is necessary to talk about these issues not only with us, it is necessary to include parents, teachers, social workers," - this is the opinion of one of the participants of the meeting.

Information meetings of the Youth Clubs took place in the municipalities of Terjola, Poti, Lanchkhuti. The topic of the conversation is violence prevention among young people, the mechanisms of protection and the role of society. Participants actively discussed this topical issue. They talked about the reasons that are often hidden in family, school and society. Like previous months, in July, 9 meetings were held in 9 municipalities.

Young people held discussions In Senaki, Zugdidi and Kutaisi on: "Women's Migration – Link with Family Conflicts".

During the discussions, it was mentioned that migration contributes to the development of conflicts in the family. Participants noted that children of such families have difficulties in communication with friends.

- When the mother's functions are taken by other family members, for example by father or by grandparents, there are frequent problems in communication, as no one can replace mother. According to young people: such children become withdrawn, and they express aggression in different forms.

Participants received recommendations on how to help their friends to overcome conflict situations.
