During the transition period, problems against prostitution and trafficking in women and children, increased in Georgia. Around 46% of women lost their work during the last years. A lot of women decided to apply for a job abroad, in Turkey, Israel, Greece and other European countries. Mostly women find their job abroad illegally and often those women became victims of trafficking. No action has been taken by the government to prevent trafficking of women, who are recruited from other countries. There is no legislation in this issue.
The goals of the project were to organize the structure, which includes educational program on the protection of trafficking; establishment of network in Georgian regions, which continue their work in the region; publishing brochures on various issues of women’s problems (trafficking women, domestic violence, sexual pressure, rape is a crime). |
This project was a continuation of the project Network of Women’s Rights Awareness and Equality Against Trafficking Women in the Region of Georgia (Mama-Cash, Haella Foundation).
This project included establishment of the network in four new cities of the Georgian regions: (Ambrolauri, Ozurgeti, Batumi, Kobuleti). Also, we set up comprehensive network of volunteers and NGO's representatives, which will work on the protection of women’s rights, carry out public awareness among women, especially young women who are vulnerable to traffickers in women and prostitution.
