Dear Women,
“Cherche´ la femme”(“Look for a woman”) it’s a well known phrase. Yes, we “can” create problems around us, but let us agree, that we are able to find solutions to many other problems indeed. Women are dodgy, flexible, smart and beautiful. But sometimes, we want to have a larger field for our activities. We want more, or it’s better to say, we want equal rights. Isn’t it curious that we have only 11 female deputies among the 131 male deputies at the National Assembly of Armenia, whereas Armenia is the first country in the world that achieved voting rights for women in the last century? Besides, we have only two female ministers in the Government…
They say that women are the column of a family, but unfortunately especially women are subjected to the economic, physical, sexual and psychological violence in the family. If you became a victim of violence, do not tolerate and do not keep silent. Be aware of your rights and protect them with our support.
