Civil Discussion in Khoni

An interesting discussion was held with a group of women from Khoni IDP settlement. The topic of conversation was the psychosocial, economic, legal and structural aspects of migration. The participants shared their views on what impacts the scale of migration, what are its social consequences and side effects, and what can be done to prevent migration.

"When, according to statistics, 43% of immigrants in recent years are children under 15, of course, there are real reasons for concern."

"10-15 years ago there was a big wave of migration in Khoni. There are no women left who could leave. Now it is more of a migration of young people."

"They leave, and factually no one comes back."

"To prevent migration, we must familiarize society with its social consequences. Let's think together what people, especially women, need to avoid this step."

Many specific ideas were expressed regarding areas where real employment opportunities for women should appear and conditions for their support should be created.

The project is implemented with the support of the organization Brot
