The report aims to analyse available data sources in order to enable an understanding of the issues that women and children with disabilities face in Georgia in a wide range of domains. Specifically, this study provides an overview of the situation of people with disabilities in Georgia with a special focus on women and children with regard to demographics; education; employment; health, welfare and access to social services; and safety and crime.

This study explores women’s meaningful participation and contribution in peace process in Georgia. The study uses a unique methodology to analyse specific Georgian context vis-à-vis the seven key challenges identified by the UN Women global report “Women’s Meaningful Participation in Negotiating Peace and the Implementation of Peace Agreements” released in 2018.

The aim of the final study has been to obtain and analyze information regarding the legal situation and social and economic needs of IDP and ethnic minority women, to compare it to the baseline study conducted in 2013 and thus document the process of change and provide clear evidence on the project’s contribution and impact to advancing access to justice of IDP and ethnic minority women.

“The first step” is the publication of 8 stories written by Abkhazian, Ossetian and Georgian writers supported by UN Women Georgia Country Office. The stories talk about women’s role in peace and security and confidence building. Before publishing the stories, Abkazian, Georgian and Ossetian writers had a workshop in Istanbul, Turkey in October 2014.
