4 NUMBERS THAT SHOCKED LIZ GRANDE
Support A1+!The statistical brochure «Men and Women in Armenia» has been published devoted to the 3rd of the 10 aims of the UN: to contribute to gender equality and enhance women's rights.
Liz Grande, UA Armenian office coordinator, was surprised by the fact that in Armenia there are no woman region governors - 0, no woman mayors - 0, and there are only 3 woman governing villages, while 75% of the people working in the regions are women.
Stepan Mnatsakanyan head of the RA statistics service who was representing the brochure mentioned the fields in which no analysis of gender statistics is done, and the fields in the statistics investigations are not done at all. Absence of gender analysis is mainly accounted for by the absence of information and the non-transparency of the corresponding systems.
