Georgia

In Georgia we are working to reform discriminatory laws, policies and practices to bring them in line with UN human rights and International Labour Organization conventions, including those which focus on eliminating racial discrimination, discrimination against women and those promoting child and labour rights.  

To do this we are supporting civil society and trade unions by: 

  • Providing training on conventions, best ways to monitor their implementation and effective strategies for engaging government;
  • Providing assistance to support strong partnerships between civil society and trade unions, so that together effective results can be ensured; and
  • Overseeing financial schemes so that monitoring and engagement with the government can be widely carried out.

Georgia Significantly Expands its Legal Protection from Discrimination

London, 19 May 2014

On 7 May, the Law of Georgia on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination came into force after being signed by Georgia’s President Margvelashvili.  The enactment of the Law is to be strongly welcomed as it moves Georgia’s anti-discrimination framework closer towards the standards required by international law. There is some room for improvement in the final text.
