The International Association of IDPs from Abkhazia, known as "Road to Home," is dedicated to advocating for the rights and well-being of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Georgia. Our work is grounded in the belief that unity and collaboration are essential for achieving our goals and restoring the territorial integrity of our homeland.
As we look to the future, we invite all members of the association to share their insights and experiences, which are invaluable to our collective efforts. It is imperative that we unite in our pursuit of a shared path home.
While we have faced many challenges, Georgia has historically emerged from difficult circumstances, and we must hold onto the hope that we will not lose the legacy our ancestors fought to protect. Unification is essential; the broader system often overlooks smaller initiatives, but when individuals come together to act, real change can occur.
The time for silence has passed; we must raise our voices to let the world know of our needs and the truth of our circumstances. In this regard, we have undertaken significant initiatives, including:
- Conducting a study and authoring a comprehensive report on the living conditions of IDPs in Georgia, in collaboration with government agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
- Organizing workshops, seminars, and public events to raise awareness about the rights of IDPs and to support their integration into society.
- Organizing camps for youth, which provide cultural and educational experiences to strengthen their ties to Georgia.
- Facilitating meetings and webinars to engage our community members, share knowledge, and foster discussions on pertinent issues affecting IDPs and the Georgian diaspora.
Together, we can work towards a brighter future, one where the dignity and rights of all displaced individuals are recognized and upheld. Let us join forces and make our aspirations for a united Georgia a reality.
