Georgia's prime minister and tens of thousands of people participated in a march through the capital, Tbilisi, to commemorate the Day of Family Purity. This day, initiated by the Georgian Orthodox Church in 2013, celebrates traditional family values in a country where there is strong opposition towards sexual minorities.
The march, which also took place in over 20 other cities, saw participants carrying icons, Christian emblems, and donning traditional costumes with intricate patterns. However, liberal groups have raised concerns as the event coincides with the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia.
