🇬🇪 Georgia (საქართველო)
Visiting: ReasonableLGBT visiting: Take care
Georgia is broadly safe, with one or two things to weigh first. Women's safety is good, ranking 36th, and violent crime is moderate, at 61st. The one area that slips, though, is LGBT rights, which are limited by a censorship law, placed 112th. Road deaths are neither a strength nor a worry, freedom is only partly protected and there is some exposure to conflict, all ranking between 92nd and 100th.
Homicide
Intentional homicides per 100,000 people — lower is better.
Georgia: 1.9
Ranked 61st in the world for the lowest homicide rate.
Why this rank?
Under two killings per 100,000 people a year. That is low, though the safest countries sit under one.
Is it safe to visit?
Nothing here should worry a visitor. The rate is well below the world average, though Georgia hasn't reported a count since 2019.
Road Fatalities
Road-traffic deaths per 100,000 people per year — lower is better.
Georgia: 12.7
Ranked 89th in the world for the deadliest roads.
Why this rank?
Twelve and a half deaths per 100,000 people a year is just below the world average of fifteen.
Is it safe to visit?
Reasonable. Below the world average but high for Europe, and a quarter of those who die are on foot.
Conflict
Conflict deaths inside the country in the last twelve months, as recorded by the Uppsala conflict database, civilians killed on purpose, and any UN sanctions or court order over a war. The worst of those sets the colour. Lower is better.
Georgia: 1.90
Ranked 81st most conflict-affected country in the world.
Why this rank?
No conflict death is recorded in Georgia in the year to July 2026. The last was in November 2023, inside the last five years.
Is it safe to visit?
Reasonable. Nothing is recorded since November 2023, and nothing armed reaches a visitor anywhere in the country.
Freedom
Six freedoms rated 0–4 by Freedom House — protest, speech, press, religion, movement and due process. The weakest rating sets the colour, and the total places the country inside it — higher is better.
Georgia: 5.93
Ranked 83rd least free country in the world.
Why this rank?
In Georgia the lowest is protest at 1. Total 12 of 24.
Is it safe to visit?
Sliding fast. Anti-government protests since 2024 have met attacks, abuse in custody and heavy fines, opposition leaders are jailed, and a foreign agents law carries five years in prison. Stay clear of demonstrations.
LGBT Rights
LGBT equality in law and daily life — higher is better.
Georgia: Censorship
Ranked 69th least equal in the world for LGBT people.
Why this rank?
Homosexuality is legal, but a sweeping 2024 family-values law banned Pride events, positive media portrayal and legal gender recognition.
Is it safe to visit?
Take care. Tbilisi Pride was stormed by mobs in 2021 and 2023, and the 2024 law turned that hostility into official policy.
Women's Safety
Women's safety — feeling safe out at night, political violence against women, a fair hearing in court, and how normal violence at home is, with the night figure setting a floor on the colour — higher is better.
Georgia: 8.29
Ranked 36th safest country in the world for women.
Why this rank?
Seventy-nine percent of women feel safe out alone at night and violence at home is rare. The courts, rated below fair for women, pull it down.
Is it safe to visit?
Georgia is safe for a woman travelling alone.
