i-icon World Bank Income Classification:Low Income The World Bank classifies economies for analytical purposes into four income groups: low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high income. For this purpose it uses gross national income (GNI) per capita data in U.S. dollars, converted from local currency using the World Bank Atlas method, which is applied to smooth exchange rate fluctuations. i-icon Least Developed Country:Yes Since 1971, the United Nations has recognized LDCs as a category of States that are deemed highly disadvantaged in their development process, for structural, historical and also geographical reasons. Three criteria are used: per capita income, human assets, and economic vulnerability. i-icon Gender Inequality Index:0.575 GII is a composite metric of gender inequality using three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market. A low GII value indicates low inequality between women and men, and vice-versa. i-icon Gender Development Index:0.723 GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

Strategic Note Outcome Progress NoteShowing data of :2021

By 2025, all people in Georgia have equitable and inclusive access to quality, resilient and gender-sensitive services delivered in accordance with international human rights standards (UNSDCF Outcome 2)

Significant progress was made towards achieving the outcome in terms of relevant policymaking and capacity development. UN Women continued to provide technical assistance to the Inter-Agency Commission on Gender Equality, Violence against Women and Domestic Violence (CGE) to support development of the National Action Plan on Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence and Measures to be Implemented for the Protection of Victims (survivors) (VAW/DV NAP) for the period of 2022-2024. Most of the state entities members of the CGE submitted their feedback on the draft NAP with the final review of the document with civil society scheduled in the beginning of 2022. To improve the response to sexual violence in Georgia UN Women, the Council of Europe and Equality Now have jointly developed Sexual Violence Investigation Manual. The manual is instrumental for improving the relevant practice and legislation related to sexual violence, ensuring de facto compliance with the standards set forth in the Istanbul Convention and the effective administration of justice. The manual represents an investigative methodology tool, designed primarily for practical application and implementation by investigators, prosecutors, and judges in Georgia. As such, it will cover the relevant procedures starting from the reporting process through the prosecution and punishment stages for acts of sexual violence. Based on its compliance with international human rights standards and commonalities among States concerning sexual violence, the manual will be valuable for post-Soviet countries and worldwide. Based on the manual, specialization of prosecutors and investigators with active support of UN women is underway on sexual violence crimes, as a result of which, only specialized prosecutors and investigators will be allowed to work on these crimes. In close cooperation with the Embassy of France to Georgia and under the RC’s leadership, UN Women Georgia CO held number of bilateral advocacy meetings to steer the interest of the Government of Georgia towards the Generation Equality Action Coalitions. Among others, together with the RC, UNFPA and the French Embassy a few advocacy events were organized locally to promote global Generation Equality Forums (GEF) in Mexico and Paris. As a result, President of Georgia H.E. Salome Zourabichvili took part in the GEF in Paris, spelling out Georgia's commitments under the following two Action Coalitions - Gender Based Violence (GBV) and Technology and Innovation for Gender Equality (TIGE). Among some of the key commitments of Georgia under the GBV Action Coalition are: a) full alignment of the country’s legislation with the Istanbul Convention including the legal definition of rape; b) commitment to scaling up behavioral correction programmes for domestic violence perpetrators in accordance with the national legislation; c) commitment to implement research-based and evidence-driven campaigns to prevent and eliminate violence against women in politics. In consultation with the Gender Theme Group and state and non-state national partners, UN Women selected sexual violence as the theme for the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence 2021. To advocate for a legislative reform of sexual violence crimes and alignment of the legislation with the Istanbul Convention, UN Women organized a high-level advocacy meeting on Increasing Access to Justice to Survivors of Sexual Violence Crimes.[1] Representatives of the legislative and executive branches of the Georgian Government, the diplomatic corps, media and international and local non-governmental organizations attended the meeting. As a result, echoing Georgia’s existing commitment under Gender Based Violence Action Coalition of Generation Equality, political commitment has been reaffirmed to amend the legal definition of rape in the Criminal Code of Georgia making consent central to it (as per the Istanbul Convention requirement). Based on the progress made to date, the original strategy and theory of change for this outcome is largely still applicable. If, as expected, this strategy is successful, then the harmonization of Georgia’s legislative and policy frameworks with international standards and the country’s commitments will start having real impact on the lives of women and girls in Georgia by outlawing discriminatory practices and improving women’s access to relevant protection and support services. [1] Sexual violence is one of the most hidden offences in Georgia. According to the 2017 National Survey on Violence against Women, 9 per cent of women experienced sexual violence in childhood, although the rate of reporting is low. For instance, in 2020, investigations were started for only 31 cases of rape, while only 22 of the cases have reached the courts. One of the reasons for low reporting, is that the Georgian legislation does not comply with international standards, including the Istanbul Convention. In addition, women’s silence about rape is provoked by existing harmful stereotypes and societal attitudes, which often blame victims for what happened to them.
