The "Young Women's Association" organized a peaceful protest in Yerevan Monday demanding that women's voices be heard everywhere, with more opportunities and fewer barriers for women to be able to engage in entrepreneurship.

The founder and president of the "Young Women's Association" Lilit Asatryan said that a group of NGO representatives from the regions united with the aim to raise the awareness about women's issues in a peaceful march, given that today is the International Women's Entrepreneurship Day.

"In fact, this class in our country has a big potential, but it does not have a stake in different spheres, neither in business nor in politics. Today, the participants of the initiative raise their voices concerning these issues, " she said.

The women participating in the action said they would like to have low interest loans to be able to start their business, and at the same time create job opportunities.

Women from the frontier village of the protest action have jobs, they have to work and keep their children.
Women want to build a middle class, they want young women to work and engage in entrepreneurship.
