Sexual harassment presents a significant global challenge, including in Georgia. While some countries view sexual harassment as a form of sex discrimination, others define it separately. This distinction is crucial in legal context, impacting court assessments
and case outcomes. The effectiveness of legal regulations addressing sexual harassment hinges on robust protection mechanism.
In Georgia, the Law on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination brings the burden of proof in line with international standards – requiring defendants to dispel doubts about the allegation of discriminatory actions. However, in practice, the courts here still
face difficult challenges, as the plaintiffs often bear the burden of proving that sexual harassment took place.
