Women’s Migration: Real Stories from Western Georgia

Behind women’s migration lie real experiences – poverty, bank debts, domestic violence, and unpaid labor.

A new study by the Fund “Sukhumi,” conducted in 11 municipalities of Western Georgia, shows that:

• 67% of surveyed women have thought about leaving the country at least once;
• 30% are already actively considering migration.

These figures are not just statistics. They reflect the difficult choices women are facing.

The project is implemented with the support of the organization Brot
