In addition to sharing knowledge in the fields of (inter)national law, forensic medicine, criminology and psychology, the training week also focused on the possibility of exchange between members of different professions. Lawyers, psychologists, social workers, as well as employees of the administrative bodies responsible for equal rights and protection against violence, the Ministry and employees of various NGOs had the opportunity to share their perspectives and experiences on the topic of VAWG in Georgia. Challenges and initiatives were discussed and approaches to solutions were worked on together. These approaches will be taken into account in the further course of the project and will serve as a source of inspiration. We also created the opportunity to voluntarily register for more intensive cooperation in the further project steps, thus creating the first step towards a sustainable interdisciplinary network of practitioners which is the overarching purpose of the project.
