ShidaKartli. The Institute for War and Peace
Reporting (IWPR) has launched a project together with the "UN Women's
organization", which aims to promote better coverage of problems of women
living in the IDP compact settlements and to advocate their rights. This very
project was presented to the young IDP women in Gori in the office of the
Georgian Young Lawyers' Association. Local NGOs have informed the journalists
about problems existing in the compact settlements encountered by IDP women.
Conducted studies illustrate that the number of victims of domestic violence in
the IDP settlements is steadily increasing, and in addition IDP women are not
much aware of their own rights.
The Institute for War and Peace Reporting
has created a network of citizen journalists, which will cover the women's
problems. The Abkhazian, Ossetian and Georgian journalists already post
materials on the web page (women-peace.net) set up within the project
framework. The project aims to unite more women around the issues of peace and
the women's rights.
