Within the framework of the project “Empowerment of Women Victims of Violence and Development of Community-Based Support Systems in Georgia,” legal consultations were held for women’s groups in Senaki and Khoni. The main goals of the consultations were to introduce women to the existing mechanisms of legal protection, to explain what steps can be taken in cases of violence, and to clarify the responsibilities of the state and society in the response process. During the meeting, the lawyer discussed: protection mechanisms, procedures provided by law, and the responsibilities that arise in cases of violence. Participants reviewed various real-life cases and emphasized that legal awareness is an essential foundation for women’s safety and freedom of choice.

Violence Behind the Screen

 

   In today’s digital world, violence against women often goes beyond the physical space and manifests behind screens, through messages and social media. The Charity Humanitarian Women Fund “Sukhumi” is launching a new project - “Invisible No More: Naming and Confronting Tech-Facilitated Intimate Partner Violence,” implemented with the support of the WAVE Network.. The project aims to raise public awareness and shed light on the often invisible forms of violence carried out through digital means - acts that violate women’s privacy, independence, and security. Tech-facilitated violence in intimate relationships includes digital surveillance, online harassment, unauthorized sharing of personal information, communication control, and other behaviors that restrict women’s freedom. As part of the project, we will produce video narratives based on real stories of women who have experienced digital violence, conduct thematic training and online awareness activities. These initiatives will help reveal the hidden forms of tech-facilitated violence, warn women and girls about risks, strengthen their digital skills for protection and prevention, and promote timely response mechanisms.
