Why we started
Child Rights Georgia in Tbilisi
Child Rights Georgia is a Tbilisi-based Georgian NGO working for effective protection of children’s rights. Child Rights Georgia examines court delay, legal representation, independent expert evidence, education, identity, language and family life. From Tbilisi, we connect Georgian law and international standards with the institutional action children need now.

Get involvedWhy we came together
Our experience with child-protection and justice procedures began in 2018. We have brought together a volunteer team in Georgia and abroad to work for changes in law and public services.
Court delays, inadequate representation, obstacles to independent expert evidence and interrupted schooling have shaped our priorities. We also work on the protection of children’s nationality, family languages and relationships across borders.
Rights that need defending.
Courts, legal aid, expert evidence, education and identity. We connect what the law requires with what institutions actually do.

Focus areas
Languages
A language. A family.
A future of their own.
What we want to change
Our work is entirely voluntary and pro bono.
We receive no financing. Our contributors give their time, professional knowledge and practical help to research problems and work for institutional and legislative change.
Courts and legal aid
Timely decisions, effective representation and judgments that are carried out.
Expert evidence
Access to independent assessments and a real opportunity to question their conclusions.
Education and identity
Continued learning and support for a child’s family languages and cultural ties.
Cooperation across borders
A team in Georgia and abroad, working together on children’s rights.
The case can continue.
The school year cannot wait.
Schools and protection services need to act while proceedings are still open. A child needs lessons, support and a plan to recover missed learning—not another referral.
Changes that children
can benefit from
Rights are written.
Duties must be carried out.
Know the right.
Know the duty.
