Gender Equality in Georgia

This comprehensive report is prepared by the Parliament of Georgia to examine laws and policies adopted in 2017-2021 to promote women’s political and economic participation, eliminate gender-based discrimination and violence, and ensure the protection of women’s rights in the labour market and the healthcare and civil sectors. Its analytical insights and recommendations serve to inform gender-sensitive policy and law-making. The research draws on a similar study conducted in 2018 to capture legislative and policy gaps across a range of fields. The research is supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in the frameworks of the UN Joint Programme for Gender Equality funded by the Government of Sweden, the Government of the United Kingdom, the National Democratic Institute (NDI) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through the East-West Management Institute (EWMI).
