In Georgia prostitution is an administrative offence: Article 172³ of the Code of Administrative Offences provides for a warning or a fine of up to half the minimum wage unit, and up to one unit for a repeat within a year, with trafficking victims and people drawn in by the crime of involvement in prostitution exempt. Buying is not expressly penalised. The Criminal Code punishes persuading a person into prostitution or other non-violent facilitation (fine or up to two years), providing a place or dwelling for prostitution (fine or two to four years) and involving a person by threats, blackmail, deceit or violence (two to twenty years depending on aggravation). On 2 April 2026 the Constitutional Court rejected a sex worker's challenge to Article 172³ brought in 2018.
