November 16 has been celebrated as the International Day for Tolerance throughout the world since the second half of the 20th century.

Article 14 of the Constitution of Georgia prohibits any discrimination. Nevertheless, a number of social groups in Georgia today are forced to existe in inequitable environment, which has a direct impact on lives of individuals concrned. Due to their disabilities, sexual orientation, gender, religious and ethnic identity, these people lack free and full realization of human rights.

GYLA believes that tolerance, as an attitude towards the different, is a cornerstone of a democratic and a legal state. Tolerance is our greatest value!

GYLA congratulates you the International Day for Tolerance!
