Human Rights House Tbilisi
Human Rights House Tbilisi (თბილისის ადამიანის უფლებათა სახლი) is a human rights organisation from Tbilisi, Georgia. The organisation is membership-based and unites five civil society organisations working in the field of human rights. Member organisations develop joint strategies, with a focus on protecting and strengthening human rights defenders and organisations, as well as raising awareness on human rights issues. Human Rights House Tbilisi is one of the key regional actors providing support to human rights defenders and their organisations at risk. The House acts as a hub for regional activists and defenders across Georgia.
Human rights defenders in Georgia are often subjected to physical attacks, threats and insults, defamation, and slander. In most cases, these forms of intimidation are levelled against those who protect and promote the rights of migrants and members of national, religious, or sexual minorities, as well as those working on politically sensitive cases and in remote areas where they have almost no opportunities for protection.
