Legal Pro Bono Workshop, May 11, 2022

Pro Bono Provider: Zedelashvili & Laywers Group

Beneficiaries: Community Based Organizations

Community Based Organizations are mostly small scale organizations or informal groups, which serve the needs of the neighborhood or geographical communities (neighborhood, district of the city, village, small town, etc) or take care of the interests of the residents of this community.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

Community organizations are community organizations that implement various environmental and social projects. Also, organizations are actively working to empower women and protect their rights. Due to the fact that in many cases women do not have enough information about their rights or what kind of rights are provided by the Georgian legislation in this regard, there is a need to hold an information workshop on these issues.

SERVICES DELIVERED:

On May 11, 2022 the law firm "Zedelashvili and lawyers Group" held a pro bono workshop. Issues such as women's labor rights (leave, pay), women's inheritance rights, marriage and family law, etc. were discussed during the meeting. Kakheti community based organizations attended the meeting. Questions were asked at the meeting about the challenges faced by women living in rural and regional areas.
