As part of the social workers’ mandatory in-service training programme, a group of 240 social workers will be trained between April and December 2021 by the Yerevan State University’s Centre for Gender and Leadership Studies with the financial support of the Council of Europe. The Centre for Gender and Leadership Studies has an extensive experience in research studies, development, and the provision of educational programmes, in particular related to gender equality.

Through interactive training methods the participants will gain knowledge on how to promote gender equality, to prevent gender-based violence and to refer victims to different social services for further support, etc. The participants will develop skills to respond effectively to domestic violence cases and provide victim-centred and gender-sensitive services to the citizens. Moreover, they will be able to develop networks among themselves and with leading specialists in the field.

The trainings are organised with the financial support of the Council of Europe project “The path towards Armenia’s ratification of the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence”.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
