We must be able to completely transform the system of
protecting children, responding to violence against children, preventing
violence and conducting investigations into these cases in the future.
The Human Rights Defender of the Republic of Armenia, Ms.
Anahit Manasyan, said this during the discussion of the draft package of
legislation on family and child rights at the government session of the
Republic of Armenia, highlighting the work done by the competent authorities to
develop the package.
The Defender noted that the number of cases of violence
against children in Armenia is so high, including sexual violence.
