Yerevan, Armenia

The Women's Resource Center (WRC) invites all interested parties to a round-table discussion called "Child Sexual Abuse: Assessing the Situation in Armenia" on September 25, 2009, at 5 pm.

Due to recent scandals in special schools where a group of volunteers raised the issue of the urgency of addressing child abuse and neglect in these closed institutions, the WRC invites all interested citizens and NGOs to participate in a round-table discussion and voice their concerns on the issue. Representatives from different ministries and NGOs are invited to take part in the discussion.

This event will help assess the situation in Armenia regarding the issue of child abuse in special schools, inform participants about available resources in the country, and find means of cooperation between NGOs and government bodies for better solutions and preventive methods. You can register by calling the WRC at 010-51-91-68.
