Underreporting is said to occur because of the treatment of domestic violence as a private family matter.

The Armenian Woman

Nationalist writers have often singled out such activities, perceiving the progress of Armenian women in the Ottoman, Russian, and Persian empires, and praised them for their contributions to Armenian national development.

Armine Harutyunyan is one of the most prominent world-class models from Armenia. The first time you see her I am sure you will notice her unique style and facial features. She is also known by the name “Gucci model” as she’s been working for the brand for a while now. Because of her “unconventional” look, Armine has always been the center of attention, and often even criticism. There is even an interesting article about this Armenian female celebrity on Forbes. ‘If the women are working, they find the strength within themselves, they realise that they have what it takes to take care of their family, and it will fill their life with positive energy which can be passed on to their children and society’.

There are heroes in our midst who organize shelters and provide a safe environment for women to rebuild their lives. The problem is complicated to resolve, but our position should be clear.
