Final Conference

A final conference on "Women's Empowerment and Sustainable Mechanisms for Community Support: Experience, Results, and Impact" was held at “Gelati Residence” Hotel.

The meeting united 50 women from various municipalities: leaders and members of mutual assistance groups, paraprofessionals, participants of civic initiatives, and representatives of the Fund “Sukhumi”.

The women shared their experiences, achieved changes, and challenges during four thematic panels:

- Women's mutual assistance groups as a safe space for women's empowerment and digital skills development

- Civic initiatives implemented by the women that have led to real change in municipalities

- Paraprofessional support and its impact on women's lives

- Digital platforms and social networks to provide information on support services for women who have experienced violence, aiming at raising awareness and increasing access to services

The project evaluation showed that community-based support models strengthen social and economic inclusion, raise the importance of digital security and access to information, and build networks of mutual support and solidarity within communities.

At the end of the event, the awards were given to women who actively participated in the project.

The project is implemented with the support the Equality Fund (Canada)
