Round table discussion on gender violence	16:24
In the office of the fund “Sukhumi” was organized a round table on the topic of “Gender violence - the attitude of the society and the government”. In the discussion participated representatives of local non-governmental organizations, as well as representatives of women's organizations in Israel: Rita Chaikin (organization Isha L’Isha - Haifa Feminist Centre) and Olga Medvedovskaya (organization Itach - Women Lawyers for Social Justice). During the meeting participants exchanged work-experience on the problem of gender violence, made analysis of the situation existing in Georgia and Israel in this aspect, and also reviewed the legislative system in this area. In her speech Rita Chaikin noted that the law on domestic violence was passed Israel in 1981 and is implemented quite effectively. There are several mechanisms that protect victims of violence. There are shelters, various rehabilitation centers for victims of violence, and for violators. Head of Kutaisi branch of the Association of Young Lawyers Nino Tvaltvadze noted that the law on domestic violence adopted in Georgia in 2006 demands for improvements and certain changes. Participants stressed that the meeting was interesting since they obtained important information from the guests from Israel and made sure once again that extensive work should be carried out on overcoming the problem of violence in Georgia.
