"The rate of sexual violence is particularly worrying in 2020; 254 such cases are being investigated," the Public Defender of Georgia Nino Lomjaria said while submitting a report to the Parliament.

She said that in 2020, 887 juveniles were identified as victims of domestic violence offenses.

"With only 268 social workers and 12 psychologists working across the country, child victims of violence do not have access to appropriate services, and the support is not effective," said Nino Lomjaria.

According to her, despite the severity of the problem, the state has not yet developed a specific strategy and action plan to eradicate child suicide.
