Protection of Women Victims of Violence in Georgia - Results of Strategic Litigation
8 October, 2024
On October 8, Rights Georgia presented its report, "Protection of Women Victims of Violence in Georgia - Results of Strategic Proceedings," in an online session. The report, supported by the USAID Rule of Law Program, covers developments from July 2022 to May 2024.
Authored by Karlo Nikoleishvili, a PhD student at the University of Turku, the document addresses both practical and legislative challenges, as well as achievements in the legal protection of women and children affected by gender-based and domestic violence. Despite progress, the report highlights persistent issues, including inaction or ineffective responses by law enforcement in handling violence against women and domestic abuse.
The report also offers practical recommendations for state representatives and legal professionals, stressing their importance in addressing domestic violence and fostering a stronger legal culture.
