For raising awareness of the population in Pankisi Gorge (Kakheti Region), populated with ethnic and religious minorities and refugees, as well as on problems related to the violence against women and the best practices of addressing this issue WIC with the support from the European Union has implemented project “Mobilizing communities to prevent and respond to violence against women through educational, cultural and sport activities” in the Kakheti region of Georgia. As a result of conducted activities the population living in Pankisi Gorge has increased awareness on legal issues and the problems connected to the violence against women, as well as the institutional mechanisms that exist in the country to address this issue.
