Rights Georgia, with the support from the USAID Rule of Law Program, held three informational meetings (49 participants) on women's rights in different regions of Georgia. The meetings took place on March 1, 2024, with high school students from various schools in Chiatura, on March 6, with high school students and teachers at Nikortsminda Public School, and on March 21, with students and university professors at Telavi State University.
