Armenia

Mondo has been working in Armenia since 2024 to promote gender equality and strong civil society.

Armenian society is strongly affected by years of conflict in the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the arrival of more than one hundred thousand refugees in 2023. Deeply rooted gender stereotypes outside major urban centers make the situation more difficult for women and limit their rights and participation in society. Armenia has a strong civil society that seeks to reduce social divisions and move towards democratic values and Europe.

Together with Armenian civil society organisations, Mondo stands for women’s rights and a strong civil society in the country. Mondo’s activities in Armenia have been supported by the Estonian Centre for International Development – ESTDEV and the EU.

Equality through Education

Armenian women face significant challenges in achieving their rights. For example, women and girls spend 21.7% of their time on household work, while for men the figure is 4.4%. Gender stereotypes are particularly deeply rooted in the Shirak region.
In cooperation with a local partner, Mondo provided teachers in the region with additional training on human rights, gender equality, bullying, and gender-based violence. In addition, we raised public awareness of the issue and its importance.
