**State Helps Public Defender and Employees**
The government wants to protect the Public Defender and their employees. This includes giving them special help if they get hurt or die while doing their job.
A group of politicians from the “Georgian Dream” party have proposed a law that will make this happen. The law says that the Public Defender and their employees should get the same social protection as other government workers.
This means that they will also be covered by state insurance. This will help protect them if something bad happens while they are doing their job.
**Why is this important?**
The work of the Public Defender’s Office can be very difficult. They have to deal with many problems and often face threats to their health and safety. This can cause a lot of stress for them.
By giving them more protection, the government hopes that they will feel safer and less stressed. This will help them do their job better and make their work more effective.
**What does this mean?**
If the law is passed, 130 people who work at the Public Defender’s Office will get state insurance. The cost of this insurance will be around 1900-2300 GEL per year (or about 160-190 GEL per month).
The government hopes that this will help motivate and support the employees of the Public Defender’s Office to do their job better.
