ARMENIAN WOMEN PRESENCE IN SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC LIFE INSUFFICIENT

Today a research presentation conducted by OSCE in Kapan: the problem
is that the participation of the Armenian women in social and economic
life of the country is not sufficient. The research results showed
that the important parts in social and political spheres are governed
by the male part, and they make the final conclusions.

According to the survey, the women in villages are not aware of their
rights and they do not have enough resources to take active parts in
the social and economic life of the country. Sergey Capinos the head
of OSCE Yerevan office said that he hope that this survey will create
basis to solve gender equivalence problems and will increase women’s
role in these fields. There are several proposals marked in the survey
how those problems could be struggled.

Note that the survey is conducted in the collaboration with Armine
Mkhitaryan, the head of the Social Aid Department of Research National
Institute.
