In August 24 in the collective center “Tsugrumela”, in Kutaisi was held a meeting with young women IDPs. Trafficking and women's rights, violence - are the topics that were considered by the participants of the meeting with great interest.

Nona Beraia, 19 years old: “I'm not going to get married yet, since I should necessarily get education. My mother got married at an early age and was completely dependent on my father. I do not like this. I want to be more independent, so I am studying women’s rights with interest. Wherever I am, I should be able to defend my interests”.

Lika Jalagonia: “I want to become a lawyer in the field of civil rights and protect women's rights, since domestic violence in Georgia is a serious problem.

In August 26 the aforementioned issues were discussed in Tskhaltubo, in the sanatorium “Medea”. Young girls were especially interested in the topic of trafficking. They told many stories how their relatives and friends became victims of trafficking.

Lika Baramia: “I had a great desire to go abroad to earn money. Now I understand, with what risk it is associated. Any woman should know what is trafficking to be able to protect her rights if necessary and not face with this problem”.

Participants think that such meetings would greatly increase the awareness of young women about their rights so that they do not become victims of violence.
