Georgia’s new trans-inclusive equality-law is toothless

 

A new anti-discrimination law was adopted, which is inclusive of gender identity and expression but without a robust framework to enforce sanctions. Also, the Prime Minister suggested a definition of marriage as a ‘union between a man and woman’ to the Georgian constitution. The adoption of the anti-discrimination law was accompanied by massive opposition organized by the Orthodox church.
