➔ IDPs face persistent housing challenges with issues including inadequate living structures, sewage problems, and unsuitable climates.
➔ State aid of GEL45 per month per person is considered valuable but insufficient for essential needs. 84% of interviewed IDPs earn less than GEL1250 monthly.
➔ According to an MMRH survey of 250 participants, 72% of IDPs were unemployed. Reasons for unemployment include transportation access, unsuitable opportunities, and lack of basic skills required for employability.
➔ Intersectional vulnerability of displaced women creates feminization of poverty, increased risks of domestic violence, and other systemic problems. 78% women have no savings whatsoever, 67% unable to afford medical treatment, 63% believe inadequate childcare affects employment opportunities.
➔ Services for adults with disabilities are severely lacking, posing significant challenges both for them and their caretakers.
➔ Beyond IDPs, refugees and humanitarian status holders from various countries, especially non-Ukrainians, face notable challenges in Georgia.
