On March 7, with regard to the International Women’s day Women’s Information Center held a campaign “Violets from the ABL”. The aim of the campaign was to attract public attention to the needs of the population, especially the needs of women of village Chorchana, located in 100 meters from the ABL.
Before planning the campaign, representatives of the Women's Information Center met with local women of village Chorchana. As a result of the meeting with local women their needs and problems were identified. The list of problems included problem of water, infrastructure, road, transport, mobile connection and ambulatory.
Forest and fields are important for the population. However, not so long ago Russian occupants made yellow marks in the woods, meaning that probably soon they will place new occupation line there. On this territories local women collect violets and then sell them in Khashuri on March 3 and 8. For this, they have to overcome many difficulties especially now, because of the reasons already mentioned above their security is in danger.
