In 2024, the Gender Department of the Public Defender's Office of Georgia, with the support of UN Women, inspected shelters and crisis centers for victims of domestic violence and trafficking. The monitoring members visited shelters in Tbilisi (2), Batumi, Kutaisi, Gori and Sighnaghi, as well as crisis centers in Tbilisi, Gori, Kutaisi, Ozurgeti, Marneuli, Telavi and Zugdidi.

The special report presents the results of the monitoring conducted by the Gender Department of the Public Defender's Office of Georgia in all state shelters and crisis centers operating in Georgia.

We hope that the shortcomings identified during the monitoring will help state agencies improve the provision of services to victims of violence.
