Both possible perpetrators and their targets may have to wear electronic surveillance bracelets to avoid crimes after the police issue a restraining order, a bill drafted by the Georgian Interior Ministry reads.
The electronic surveillance will be used in the cases when the chance of repeated violence is high, the ministry official said.
The bill has already been presented to the government for discussion and soon will be sent to parliament for approval.
The changes are being carried out with the participation and support of the UN Women, which has already purchased 100 electronic bracelets and donated them to the Interior Ministry.
