Tbilisi. The Public Defender and the newly established Coalition for Equality have signed the Memorandum of Mutual Cooperation for the Elimination of Discrimination.
Pursuant to the Memorandum, signatory organizations will jointly attempt to facilitate the enforcement of the Law of Georgia "on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination", empowerment of the Public Defender's role, and the development of judicial practice to secure the protection of rights of discrimination victims.
