  • IMG 4154 GEORGIA. Zugdidi. 2007. Woman on the UNOMIG bus (United Nations Observer Mission in Georgia) crossing the border with Abkhazia. The refugees cross the border to cultivate the land or to do small jobs in Abkhazia. The lack of opportunities has driven some of the IDPs (Internally Displaced Persons), who formerly lived in the region of Gali near to the Northern border, which is now de facto closed, to return spontaneously to Abkhazia in search of work, at considerable risk to their lives, in the hope of earning a minimum income for their families.

  • IMG 3133 GEORGIA. Rukhi. 2007. Woman grieving for her son who died in the civil war in Abkhazia. As a result of this political event, after the Abkhazian civil war  (1992-1993), some 300,000 Georgians were obliged to abandon their homes and livelihoods in Abkhazia.  Most of them left by sea, but others fled over land, across the mountains of Svaneti, where many of them, around 30,000, died in the difficult climatic conditions.

  • IMG 3774 GEORGIA. Ingiri. 2007. A woman in a collective center's courtyard.  Only in 2007 did the government set up an action plan to create conditions for communities to return to normal life. The collective centers, where most refugees live, have become small islands apart from the rest of society, where people have jealously kept their identity and their set of values.<br />
The local population is indifferent and hostile to the fate of the refugees, who are considered as foreigners with special privileges who have come to steal housing and jobs.
