Kvinna till Kvinna has supported women’s rights in Armenia since 2004. Political and economic inequality persists in Armenia, and many women have difficulties accessing health care. Women are also largely excluded from peace talks on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Our partners promote women’s political participation, raise awareness of women’s rights and offer free health care.

Why we work in Armenia

The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has left Armenia facing major challenges, from displacement to political uncertainty. A joint declaration signed in 2025 raised hopes for peace, but many questions remain about justice, rights and inclusion.

Women in Armenia face challenges such as:

  • gender-based violence
  • economic inequality and lack of equal pay
  • poor access to sexual and reproductive health care
  • deeply rooted traditional gender roles
  • low political representation
