August at Women Support Centers

In August, 15 meetings were organized by Women Support Centers, and more than 150 people were informed about available victim support services.

The work was actively carried out in all ten centers: Bagdati, Vani, Terjola, Samtredia, Senaki, Khurcha (Zugdidi municipality), Tsalenjikha, Khobi, Kobuleti and Chokhatauri.

The meeting participants talked about the direction in which work should be intensified to prevent the problem of violence. It was mentioned that the scope of informing the population should be expanded in the periphery and in this respect the role of non-governmental organizations should be increased.

The challenges also revealed the importance of educating women and involving them in economic empowerment programs.

Women Support Centers will continue to work, envisaging the identified problems. During the month, four new cases were identified. After analyzing the cases, a psychologist and a lawyer will be involved in the process.

The project is implemented with the support of the organization Brot
