Known as the most promising young democracy in the region, Georgia and its turbulent political and social contexts present a number of complex structural challenges to effective human rights protection. Political instability, deeply entrenched \u2018traditional\u2019 societal views, the influential role of the Church, and interstate tensions with Russia over have guided EHRAC\u2019s priorities for strategic litigation.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

Together with our Georgian partners, we have successfully litigated precedent-setting cases addressing ill-treatment, torture and deaths in custody, alongside the state\u2019s failure to effectively investigate actions of security forces, violence, attacks and prejudice against women and LGBTIQ+ people, inadequate healthcare in prisons, and conflict and occupation related violations.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

EHRAC was responsible for jointly litigating the first ever domestic violence complaint against Georgia to be decided by an international body. This landmark case, which was brought before the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), was nominated for a Gender Justice Uncovered Award, and served as a catalyst for the Georgian Government to instigate widespread reforms aimed at ensuring a zero-tolerance policy towards violence against women.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
