/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On Apr. 3 Lisa Fund will hold discussions and
"Territory of Silence" documentary screening within the framework of
program entitled "Domestic Violence: A Primary Care Issue for Rural
Women". The program is initiated with the assistance of US Embassy
in Armenia.

""Territory of Silence" was the title that suited most. It was hard
to find people willing to acknowledge they’re being subjected to
domestic violence. Most of them choose to hush up the problem,"
documentary director Mariam Ohanyan related.

The discussion will be attended by Women’s Rights Center President
Susanna Vardanyan, NGOs representatives, sociologists and lawyers.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
