"From year to year along with the social, political and economic crisis
children are becoming more vulnerable' today, on International Children's
Day, First Human Rights Defender Larisa Alaverdyan told the reporters.
According to the latter, children in Armenia continue to remain vulnerable;
despite the fact that the family kept the child worship, which often has an
adverse effect on the upbringing.
"Social inequality affect the children a lot, especially in rural areas the
situation becoming worse with every year," says first human rights defender
and adds that, according to her, this is a signal, because alongside with
this the negative social habit is formatting. Society is getting used to
seeing a begging child in the street or a child not going to school due to
the lack of appropriate clothing and with this the culture of poverty comes
to us.
Larissa Alaverdyan also mentioned with regret that there are cases in
Armenia when father gets in sexual conduct with the child. "Today it seems
that it is propagated that the notion of morality is also relative."
According to the speaker, the courts are quite forgiving to those cases and
according to her there is a need for legislative change.
