Elevating and empowering women in Armenia to bring about societal change across the country.
The project aims to elevate and empower women in Armenia to bring about societal change across the country. To do so EQUAL provides women duly support to exercise their political, economic and socio-cultural rights, targeting specifically those from vulnerable and disadvantaged groups. Thanks to the project, state and non-state actors will take meaningful actions to address and prevent all forms of gender-based violence and discrimination and contribute to gender equality in Armenia for women, men, girls, and boys in all their diversity.
Peculiarities of Women’s Political Careers in Armenia
Strengthening women’s participation at every stage of policymaking is essential to turning conversations into real change and achieving gender equality. Under the EQUAL EU 4 Women Empowerment in Armenia project, EPD’s partner Oxygen published a report on the barriers Armenian women still face in public participation.
