24/06/2026 | 17:55:30 Dear colleagues, What we hear again and again and what we can read in this report, that those in power in Georgia, the Georgian Dream, are pretending that nothing is wrong in the country, that there is no social and political crisis, that they are fulfilling their membership obligations to this organisation. But the people in Georgia do not live in this dream. They live in reality, where violence is used to suppress freedom of speech and assembly. And those committing violence are not held... 03/10/2025 | 11:00:42 Yes, thank you very much everyone who made the comments supporting many of the points addressed. Also, more broadly in the report, there's actually a lot of extra suggestions that I didn't take time to fully uncover, including creating these campaigns to break the silence and normalise conversation about violence against men and boys.

We see indiscriminate attacks on civilians, on children, on infrastructure. We have seen torture used against prisoners of war, sexual violence against people under occupation. We have seen abduction of Ukrainian children, attempts of destroying their cultural identity and attempts at genocide. We... 31/01/2025 | 10:38:38 Thank you very much. There is a clear tendency for escapism and wishful thinking all around us. In several areas we are avoiding the challenges and difficulties. And while understandable on a private level in our society where people sometimes simply want to have a moment of peace in a world of multi-crises, the governments, the politicians have a responsibility to face the challenges, not to run away from them.
