Fueled by bravery and determination, Cultural-Humanitarian Fund “Sukhumi” works to ensure that women and youth are strong and sustainable actors for a democratic future in Georgia. Established and led by a community of internally displaced women, Fund “Sukhumi” was created in 1997 after the Georgian population had to flee Abkhazia. Since then, they have continued to gain new momentum, expanding their geographic focus to include five regions across Western Georgia. Today the fund advances its vision of a non-violent, peaceful, and equal society through a series of interconnected focus areas: building the power of internally displaced women; advancing women’s political participation; combating violence against women; empowering women economically; strengthening gender policies at the local level, and equipping young people with skills and knowledge.

Alentado por la valentía y la determinación, Cultural-Humanitarian Fund “Sukhumi” trabaja para velar por que las mujeres y la juventud sean agentes fuertes y estables de un futuro democrático en Georgia. Constituido y dirigido por una comunidad de mujeres que eran desplazadas internas, el fondo “Sukhumi” se creó en 1997, después de que la población georgiana tuviera que huir de Abkhazia. Desde entonces, ha seguido cobrando ímpetu y ha ampliado su foco geográfico para incluir cinco regiones de Georgia occidental. Hoy el fondo impulsa su visión de una sociedad no violenta, pacífica y equitativa a través de una serie de áreas de interés interconectadas: consolidar el poder de las mujeres que son desplazadas internas; impulsar la participación política de las mujeres; luchar contra la violencia hacia las mujeres; el empoderamiento económico de las mujeres; fortalecer las políticas de género en el ámbito local; y proporcionar habilidades y conocimientos a la juventud.
