ARMENIA’S LAW ON GENDER EQUALITY HAS INACCURACIES – NEWSPAPER
August 08, 2013 | 06:48
YEREVAN. – A provision-where the term “gender” was considered
an acquired conduct-in Armenia’s Law on Equal Rights and Equal
Opportunities for Women and Men has raised a lot of uproar in the
social networks, Hraparak daily reports.
“The interesting thing is that [non-pro-government Prosperous Armenia
Party] PAP MP Naira Zohrabyan made the initiative to correct this
error.
“In the meantime, the law is a joint proposal by the [coalition
government’s junior partner, Orinats Yerkir (Rule of Law) Party] RLP
[National Assembly (NA)] Faction and former Labor and Social Affairs
Minister, PAP member Arthur Grigoryan, [and] it was passed in the
parliament and voted on by the same PAP.
“Besides the fact that the PAP member likewise has had a contribution
in this term, the law was at the NA since 2011 and it passed three
[NA] discussions, but no one opposed to this term,” Hraparak writes.
