Shida Kartli. On November 25, as part of the "Civic Education and Teacher Training Program" and in connection with the International Day for Elimination of Violence against Women, the schoolchildren have invited to the civic club of Khashuri Public School #9 the guest – the Head of the Shida Kartli gender Equality Resource Center Nino Sukhiashvili. She talked about violence against women and legislation for its prevention, statistics on domestic violence and the UN documents. The study on the victims of domestic violence in Georgia has established that the victims of domestic violence in most cases are women and children, while males are the violators. However, Ms. Sukhiashvili said that elder parents or males can also become the object of domestic violence. According to her, apart from various international organizations that protect the women's rights, the Public Defender is also authorized to examine these issues and protect the rights of women. The guest has awarded the civic club with a gift - the Declaration on the Rights of Women.
