The existence of a law on domestic violence could improve the situation
in Armenian society, in particular with regard to women, and would
allow them to apply to court to protect their rights, head of Women's
Rights Center NGO Susanna Vardanyan announced during today's protest
action near the building of Armenian government.
The Coalition to Stop Violence Against Women organized today a protest
action demanding to adopt a law on domestic violence. The action
participants passed a letter to Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan and
the results of signature collection held earlier.
"The law gives the definition of domestic violence and mentions who
can be considered a victim of domestic violence, what steps police
should take in those cases, etc. The law says nothing terrible, it
just mentions the steps that are necessary to facilitate lives of
women," Ms Vardanyan added.
