participation in activity in state institutions and private sector,

between a man and a woman is a very important factor for the
development of all countries, including Armenia’, she said. According

and civic society to improve the state of women in the country and to
strengthen their role in the civic society.

Women – National Plan in Action’ is held in Yerevan. The conference
