WomenAid Georgia receives financial support from WomenAid International and through partnership, aims to facilitate the efforts of a large number of federal, municipal, social, religious, commercial, and other organisations to raise awareness of the Georgian public and government on the status of children and women and channel effective assistance.

WomenAid Georgia has been awarded a grant by the United Nations Association, International Organization on Migration and WomenAid International to implement an Anti-Trafficking Multi-Media Campaign. The project will be implemented through the WomenAid Georgia Health & Gender Equity Centre. The project aims to develop and launch a multimedia campaign "Be Smart! Be Safe!" which presents to Georgian society at large and particularly those most at risk from irregular migration and trafficking, a set of government endorsed Safety Rules/Guidelines and initiate appropriate methodology for improved data collection and research.
