On May 2 2014, the Parliament of Georgia passed the Law on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination, which aims to eliminate all forms of discrimination and ensure equal enjoyment of the rights of any person under the legislation of Georgia. Since the adoption of the law, the Coalition for Equality has been studying the human rights situation of separate groups of people on an annual basis and preparing relevant reports. The presented report is the fifth and assesses the current situation in Georgia in 2020 in terms of the realization of the right to equality of separate groups and the fight against discrimination. The report analyzes the trends of 2020, which have affected the human rights situation of individual groups. In particular, it outlines the steps taken forward and the challenges related to the state’s anti-discrimination policy, anti-discrimination legislation, practices, and the daily lives of vulnerable groups.

The Coalition for Equality hopes that the report will help the relevant state agencies to take effective measures to eliminate discrimination and to ensure equal enjoyment of the rights of any person under the legislation of Georgia.
