Femicide in Georgia: a chronicle of tragedy

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

30-year-old Natia Gogoladze in 2016 left for Italy to earn money to feed two children. So many Georgian women are forced to do, desperate to find work in their homeland.

Natia returned to Georgia six months ago. With the money she raised in Italy, she opened a small second-hand clothing store in her hometown of Khashuri.

On October 11, Natia’s ex-husband Irakli Dekanoidze came to this store.  First, he threw a grenade into the room, which did not explode. Then he shot at her several times, and Natia, in horror, tried to run away.

Her ex-husband caught up with her and hit her with the pistol grip several times.  Natia died the same day in the city hospital

“Violence is directly related to power. And there is no doubt that men have more power over women, and they consider themselves entitled to force them … Women are perceived as sexual objects, and not as independent entities. That is, a woman has no right to initiative or choice in sexual matters, and if she takes the initiative, she will be punished." -Tamara Tskhadadze
