The Women's Fund “Sukhumi” has launched the project “Empowerment of Women Survivors of Violence and Development of a Community-Based Support System in Georgia.” Within the project, a psychologist visited women’s groups in Khoni and provided consultations to the participants. The goals of the meeting were to reflect on the psycho-social impacts of violence, strengthen participants’ self-esteem. The psychologist discussed - factors contributing to domestic violence, its causes and consequences, and the social attitudes that often reduce empathy. Participants shared their personal experiences. The importance of group-based support was emphasized, as a process of restoring strength and reconnecting with oneself.
The project implemented with the support of the DANNER - Kvindecenterfonden Dannerhuset
