Initiatives on migration

Based on the findings of our monitoring report, "Why do Women Leave?" (https://fsokhumi.ge/index.php/ka/publikacia/informatia-zaladobis-tsinaagmdeg/item/15769-2025-07-08-16-30-02), the monitoring and advocacy group held a series of discussions and consultative meetings in collaboration with community leaders and youth in ten municipalities and then developed civic initiatives:

Zugdidi (village Khurcha) - "Information Campaign on Migration in Three Villages of Zugdidi Municipality"

Senaki - "Economic Empowerment of Women for Migration Prevention"

Vani - "Information for Women Empowerment"

Chokhatauri - "Together We Will Overcome Everything"

Khoni - "Common Initiatives to Prevent Migration"

Khobi - "Intergenerational Dialogue to Prevent Migration"

The photos clearly demonstrate how impressive is the work done on these initiatives. In Chokhatauri, a space for informal meetings to continue the dialogue was created. A children's corner wasa opened in the Khoni community education center, allowing children to have fun while their parents study. In Khobi, the organization “Toliskuri” purchased books and opened a reading club as part of the initiative. In Khurcha, women already have their own printer, enabling them to print informational and other necessary materials. Manicure classes were opened in Seneki.

The goals of the initiatives are to raise awareness on the social and emotional consequences of migration, reduce the negative impact of migration, promote healthy relationships between adolescents and migrant parents, strengthen the practical skills of IDP women, and expand employment opportunities.

The project is implemented with the support of the organization Brot
