Civil Society Representatives’ Blog 7 | The Cost of Activism in Georgia Today: The Everyday Struggle of Women Activists

“What will they come up with today?” - this is how the morning begins for many Georgian women activists.

Civil Society Representatives’ Blog 6 | Cases of Pressure Against Women Human Rights Defenders in Georgia

This blog is based on the 2025 study “Challenges of Women Human Rights Defenders and Activists in Georgia” and reviews various forms of pressure exerted on women human rights defenders from February 2023 (following the initiation of the “Draft Law on Registration of Foreign Agents”) through September 2025. The study shows that, in addition to the weakening of organizations and their exclusion from civic space, the political situation in the country has forced women human rights defenders to confront intense individual-level pressure.

Civil Society Representatives’ Blog 5 | A Study of Women Consumers’ Rights and Awareness in the Imereti Region

In democratic states, the protection of consumer rights is one of the key social and legal priorities.

In Georgia, a survey was conducted among 220 women consumers in the Imereti region to examine women’s awareness as consumers. This blog presents the main findings of that survey.

Civil Society Representatives’ Blog 3 | The Lack of a Support Network as a Barrier to Escaping Violence for Women with Disabilities

Protection from violence and access to justice are fundamental rights for persons with disabilities. These rights are prerequisites for the realization of other rights: security, a dignified life, and the ability to make independent choices. However, in Georgia, escaping violence remains a difficult and often nearly impossible task for women with disabilities. This is caused not only by individual circumstances, but also by entrenched social stereotypes and ineffective state responses.
