The organization closely cooperates with several governmental, international and local organizations, who work in this sphere. In 2009, together with 3 other NGOs, “Real World, Real People”, “Public Information and Need of Knowledge” and “Women’s resource center” the organization formed the “Advocacy Group on AIDS”. The Advocacy Group on AIDS implements various events, campaigns, raises issues at the state level, tries to solve the issues to which people living with HIV face. The organization also closely cooperates with local mass media to cover the issues of people living with HIV in a wider scale. People living with HIV face various issues in communication with their relatives and friends. It often happens in Armenia, when no one gets to know about one’s HIV positive status. Disclosing of kid’s status or disclosing of kids’ parents status is a special problem. These and other problems are the basis of interpersonal and psychological tension, which has negative impact as on a child-parent relationship, as well as on person’s health. In order to prevent such a process, the organization conducted psychological work with people living with HIV and their kids. These regular meetings gave quite good results, which is evidenced by the

parents’ satisfaction. During the meetings kids learnt to understand better their own emotions, tried to see themselves from aside to thoroughly understand others’ reaction. Parents also mentioned about positive changes both in kids’ relationship with them and in school environment. Any obstacle that a person living with HIV overcomes in his/her life is already a small victory. And it is not a victory for person living with HIV only, but for the organization’s coworkers as well. And it is not important, who helped him/ her, but the important part is that a person living with HIV understands and finds his/her place again in the society, continues to live and create. That is the main achievement of the organization.

Mrs. Matosian came to Armenia with great energy and enthusiasm, with intention to do a good thing for her motherland, because, as she claimed, only here she could find her identity. The continuous despair in the country in 199697 made her go back to USA, from where she came. But not being able to adapt to American society no longer, after few years she came back to Armenia to have her own input for contributing to her motherland’s development. Hence her intense activity in the sphere of women’s rights began, and later, in the result of cooperation “Women’s Support Center” NGO was created. Mrs. Matosian notes that not long ago speaking up about domestic violence was considered as a taboo. It’s true that there are already some studies about the topic in Armenia, but

however there is still a need to realize, what methods should be used to work directly with victims of domestic violence. A great amount of work was conducted upon this purpose, specific literature was studied, specialists were chosen for the work, who constantly participate in various retraining courses both in US and in Armenia. This is how in 2010, with the initiative of “Tufenkian Charitable Foundation” and in cooperation with U.S. Agency for International Development and “Armenian International Women’s Association” “Women’s Support Center” NGO was created, which set the goal to support women, who became victims of domestic violence in Armenia. The center has a hotline, it provides legal and psychological counseling, as well as it organizes and implements retraining courses in various topics and provides other necessary services. It cooperates with “Women’s Resource Center” NGO, trying to implant comprehensive information and values among young women about a healthy family, where relationships are not based on violence and control, but on solidarity and cooperation. “Women’s Support Center” is also a cofounder and member of “Coalition to stop violence against women”. The coalition is an alliance of seven NGOs, who conduct their work in spheres of feminism, social issues and women’s rights, and it makes the voice of violence cases against women, their issues to be raised and be heard through reporting on private cases, through speaking up and raising issues on domestic violence. “Women’s Support Center” also has a shelter for women, who became victims of violence, where they can find support for free. As Mrs. Matosian says, mainly middle aged women (25-45) and sometimes their kids use the service of shelter. If it comes clear, that kids were also psychologically affected from domestic violence, then they also receive psychological

support from specialists that work in the center. And if during the counseling it turn out that the child is a victim of sexual violence as well, or has other problems, then the staff of the center refers him/her to competent organizations and bodies, to receive relevant support.
In order to exclude the dependency from the shelter, women can stay there no longer, than three month. When women’s life or health is in danger, when she finally stops being a victim of fear atmosphere that last for decades, from brainwashing and finally gets courage to leave the violence behind, she comes to the shelter, where she finds safety, privacy and support. In the result of work with relevant specialists, women set goals for themselves and try to reach them with the help of the staff of the center. The shelter has a router role: during the time women stay there, the level of their awareness and legal consciousness raises, she starts to clearly realize what is domestic violence, how to prevent it and how to make effective decisions after undergoing a violent assault, how to fight the issues facing them and start a new life.

ety is full of dominant patriarchal stereotypes. The state must put efforts for women’s qualified education, it must encourage their political and social involvement in all possible means and contribute for creation of Armenian women’s presentable image, which, in words of Mrs. Matosian, we don’t have today. Moreover, both women’s own perceptions about their roles and the society’s mentality must be changed. It’s not a problem of one organization, but it’s the greatest issue of the whole society. Domestic violence must get a comprehensive legal regulation in a relevant legal act, which will lead in decreasing of domestic violence cases, will make them controllable and ensure a proper protection of victims of violence. This is the guarantee of creating healthy and safe public atmosphere. Do not let your rights be violated; you do not have to tolerate the violence, do not let your children be raised in such atmosphere, raise your problems, call to hotline 08000 11 00 in case of violence was used against you to receive a charge free counseling and needed support.

Recently the word gender has entered the Armenian vocabulary. Before that there was only ser (meaning sex). The physical bodies of males and females and social roles of men and women were discussed using this same term. The two concepts have now been separated for some important reasons, which this article will explore. Until about the last quarter of the 20th century – there was no language with which scholars or activists could discuss how sex differences played social roles. “Sex” was not enough to describe the many ways in which human beings express their behavior in culture, their social environment, and personally. That is to say, “male” and “female,” became questionable terms and ways of understanding difference for those who wanted to talk about the ways in which cultural norms or traditions are created and how they can change. One’s physical body, after all, cannot explain how they live and are expected to live such different lives. For these reasons, the concept of “gender” is now used to describe the ways in which “men” and “women” are categories created by society in order to separate what men and women are supposed to do, how they are supposed to behave, and what value is given to each. In the 1930s, anthropologist Margaret Mead did a study of three Samoan societies (in the South Pacific Ocean). She found that while females and males were present in all three societies, each society assigned different gender

roles to males and females. Women and men across the three societies had very different ways of behaving, which Mead called temperament. From this, she concluded that while males and females exist, it cannot be true that “man” and “woman” are natural categories because they differ in every society. Therefore, the physical body does not mean that there are natural social roles because if this were true, social roles would have been the same in every culture. Armenian culture is what makes us understand women as caring and soft and men as strong, for example. For this reason, Mead proposed that social scientists start working with the concept of sex “temperament” instead of “sex.” This would enable them to see all the many ways for gender to be expressed.

in her time was that while “women” had been discussed in sociological and anthropological work up to this point, no text had been written that was wholly devoted to understanding how society creates gender roles. In fact, it was a long time until the topic was taken seriously and even that did not happen easily.
In 1975 Gayle Rubin, another anthropologist, argued that the idea that men and women were different and should thus have different social roles was established in the very beginning of human civilization. In fact, civilization was born through women being treated as objects that could be exchanged through marriage with other groups. In anthropology, this is called out-marriage. She argued that because of this

exchange of women, societies started thinking of men and women as different from each other – women as objects to be traded, and men as those who could make decisions over women’s bodies. In this argument, then, gender was created at the moment when men and women were thought to have separate roles and these roles were not equal.
At the time that Rubin was writing this essay, the concept of “gender” was still being introduced into scholarly vocabulary – being used by some but not fully taken up yet. Feminists in the 1970s often used a naturalistic notion of “woman” – to understand woman’s social role through her biology. This concept later became criticized as essentialist – as naively believing that one’s physical body can have natural social meaning. Some scholars in the social

sciences, like Sherry Ortner, tried to distance themselves from this biological understanding of gender by claiming that even though “women” globally may have nothing else in common, they do have in common the fact that they are oppressed everywhere. This idea was later criticized because some feminist scholars found that it may not be true that women are oppressed everywhere and that this may just be the way Western feminists understand it. In other words, those studying gender and the relationship between “women” and “men” around the world began to question what it means to have power. By the 1980s, feminists developed different theories of how “woman” was created and began to use “gender,” rather than sex, as the main way of discussing the relationship between women and men. Some scholars, like Catherine MacKinnon, argued that woman is that who is available as a sexual object for men and becomes woman by this process of objectification. Therefore, the goal for many activists and scholars was to free “woman” and get rid of the category altogether. Some philosophers, like Monique Wittig, said that lesbians have already been freed from being sexual objects for men and thus are not women. Instead, “lesbian” itself is a gender category of those who are liberated from being women, but are not men. At this point, gender was becoming the norm for those within the humanities and social sciences and was also being used by popular media in Western Europe and the Americas, such as in magazines, television shows, etc. However, there was (and still is) a general criticism that often when the word “gender” is used, what is really implied is “woman” – such as in “Gender Studies.” Many scholars and activists have worked to make bigger what “gender” means and to be critical of terms like “woman” and “man” by showing that many do

not fit within these boxes and that the understanding of these categories do not exist in the same way throughout the world. The “coming out” and spreading of knowledge by those who are transgendered or intersexed is today still taking apart what is most commonly assumed about gender or sex: that there are only two. In the 1990s, the development of postmodern theories in the humanities further cracked open (and some argue, broke) the concept of gender. Feminist philosopher, Judith Butler, argued that gender is a performance. It is performed from moment to moment by the way one acts: the way they sit, the way they may smoke a cigarette, the clothes that they wear, the way they talk, etc. If it was not for these performances, Butler argues, gender would not exist at all. She also argued that what is considered “sex” – the physical body - is already in itself only visible to us because of gender. It is the concept of gender – that there is difference between woman and man – that allows us to see sex in the first place. The concept of gender could not have come about without feminism, feminist scholarship and the demand of women to understand how their roles in society had been created throughout history. Gender allows us to do and see what the limited concept of “sex” does not. Gender creates differences between males and females. Gender makes us see everyone as man or woman. But, on the other hand, gender allows us to understand that our social roles are not forever and that they can be changed.

During September-October 2012 “Public Information and Need of Knowledge” NGO implemented LGBT rights monitoring. The monitoring aims to study the situation of LGBT rights in Armenia focusing on the last two years. This monitoring is intended to supplement two reasearches conducted earlier by “Public Information and Need of Knowledge” NGO, which were implemented in the frames of “We and Our Rights” project. During the monitoring LGBT rights violations were studied in institutions and spheres of life such as education, employment, family, healthcare, police, army, religion and social life. Overall, 111 people took part in the survey, from which 13 are females and 98 are males. During the monitoring of the survey some interesting details were brought out about LGBT people’s rights violations in different spheres that were studied.
Education The fear that discrimination against them is inevitable, if their sexual orientation or gender identity is disclosed in an educational institution, prevails for LGBT people. Moreover, in most cases LGBT

people get subjected to discrimination by other students in educational institutions. The most common type of discrimination in educational institution is hate speech, which was addressed to them based on their sexual orientation and gender identity (hereinafter SOGI). It is interesting that there is even a limit of scientific research work related to LGBT topics. According to this, the student is limited in their own work and that topics related to LGBT people are still considered to be impermissible in educational institutions.
Employment At first sight it may seem that LGBT people do not have any problems in the labor sphere, as discrimination based on SOGI seems to mostly not exist. However, there is another explanation to this phenomenon. The overwhelming majority of respondents feel the need to conceal their SOGI in the workplace. It is interesting that private sector employees are more inclined to hide their SOGI (54%), than the employees of other sectors. In this sense, non-governmental organization employees are more open.
Family In families LGBT people prefer to keep silent about their SOGI. So, more than half of the respondents (54%) did not come out about their SOGI in families, which means that the fear of being discriminated and alienated from their families prevails for LGBT people, if their family members get to know their SOGI. Psychological pressure is one of the most encountered forms of discrimination in the family. The second most popular form of

discrimination in the family are the pressures to change one’s SOGI. There were also cases, when, finding out about the LGBT person’s SOGI, they were kicked out of their home.
Healthcare The most common form of discrimination within healthcare institutions are mockery and ridicule.
Police Police is one of the institutions which is directly related to detection of discrimination cases and the work done around the issues. At the same time it is also considered to be a separate institution, where LGBT people often face manifestations of discrimination. Comparing to other spheres, forms of discrimination towards LGBT people in this sphere manifest the most. Almost half of the respondents, 41 people, faced a disrespectful and ironic attitude by police officers. 21 were asked very personal questions. Cases where LGBT people applied and were refused to sign a protocol about their violated rights were common as well.
Military Military service is compulsory in Armenia, which means that every male citizen, who is eligible to military service, must serve in the Armenian military. It is assumed that GBT people must serve in the military as well, but if their SOGI is disclosed then they are exempted from compulsory military service. As a reason a person’s men-

tal health problems are mentioned. However, 34 of GBT respondents have served in compulsory military service. 65 GBT people did not complete compulsory military service, but only 13 of them brought up their SOGI as a reason for their exemption. There are also cases when a person was subjected to a discriminatory attitude during military service after their SOGI was revealed. As it was expected, 10 of the GBT respondents report that their SOGI was considered a disease at the military commission. More than half of the 18 GBT respondents whose SOGI was revealed within the military commission noticed that their SOGI has been discussed with other military commission co-workers, so their right of private life had been violated. 9 respondents reported about another violation of right of private life when they were asked very personal questions. LGBT people explain their own vulnerability as the result of the lack of public awareness, intolerance, and with LGBT people’s vulgar and offensive behavior. Overall, LGBT people consider themselves happy, they have people towards whom they feel close, are surrounded with loved ones and do not have a feeling of emptiness. Human rights violations form a small number in the results of the survey, which may lead to the assumption that LGBT people are fully protected. However, this is conditioned by the fact that LGBT people prefer to conceal their sexual orientation and gender identity. Lusine Saghumyan

Until December 31, 2012 there were 228 new HIV cases registered in the RA, and the number is higher than during the past years. Generally, 29.7% of people living with HIV, 410 individuals, are women in Armenia. And in the whole world nearly half of all HIV-positive cases are already registered among women; as a matter of fact, in sub-Saharan Africa women are the majority among new registered HIV-positive cases. A question arises then: when the statistics show that men engage in more risky behaviors than women, then how come that there are more women living with HIV than men? The reason is the profound political, social, economic and sexual subordination, provisioned by laws and mirrored in cultures and lifestyles. Discrimination, stigma and violence are also everyday phenomena for many women living with HIV. The vulnerability of women toward HIV/AIDS may be regarded by two main perspectives: 1. biological factors, 2. social factors .

From the perspective of biology, the risk of women becoming HIV-infected is twice as higher as that of men because of the following factors: • sperm is more overloaded with virus than the vaginal discharge, • the tunic of vagina is thinner than the foreskin, • sperm stays in the vagina longer, • micro cracks meet among young women more often, • during sexual intercourse, the woman’s body is the receiver. Gender roles and relationships greatly affect on the process and consequences of HIV/ AIDS. Gender inequality is one of the main powers contributing to the spread of AIDS. All the particularities and roles that the society distinguishes for women and men often become the ways that are needed to protect oneself against HIV/AIDS and overcome the consequences of it. For that particular reason, in order to prevent the spread of HIV, it is necessary to grant women equal rights and opportunities in all spheres. A number of factors exist that make women and girls more vulnerable towards HIV. Here we may mention those social norms and factors that don’t allow women to get the necessary knowledge and information on sexual health, to be the owners of their bodies and their sexual lives.

By laws of a number of states, the rights of women such as the right to be a proprietor, to inherit property and dispose it, are limited. Women become victims of inequality and face it while getting education, loans, work and divorce. Legal and social inequality makes women economically depended from their husbands by compelling them to

conform in situations when they can’t refuse having sexual intercourse with them or to use condoms during the intercourse. As social worker of “Real World, Real People” NGO Anna Avetisyan notes: “This situation is especially palpable in our country. The prospects are, above all, different in rural and urban communities. Workers of the organization have held informative campaigns in all marzes of Armenia, they’ve met with girls and women of rural communities and given counseling to them. Yet, education and the fact of being informed do not guarantee for healthy relationships. Women are more often regarded as sexual objects, they could also be subjected to violence if they reject having sexual intercourse or suggest using a condom (even if the husband exhibits some risky behavior and the wife knows about that). Women often end up in poverty after the death or divorce from their husbands because of which their choices and opportunities grow to be so restricted that they unwittingly start having sexual acts in exchange for money, or become victims of sexual exploitation or violence in domestic or working situations. Each of the abovementioned factors arise the risk of contracting HIV for women.
»
Violence against women in itself is a phenomenon spread throughout the world which is also a cause of high rates of new cases of HIV. In the case of women the risk of contracting HIV is higher when sexual intercourses take place with compulsion rather by mutual agreement. Violence and the fear of becoming a victim of it may make women abstain from getting tested for HIV, from requiring using condoms or from informing about their HIV status to their sexual partners. “In many Armenian families, when women be-

come HIV-positive, it is their husbands and the family of the husband that are informed about that. Regardless the fact that 98% of women living with HIV got it from their primary partners in the RA, yet it is mostly women that are subjected to discrimination in their families after disclosing their HIV status. And it is their mothers in law who mainly discriminate them. And the members of the family of the girl mostly are not informed about the HIV status of their daughters: they prefer to hide it from their own parents. In a situation like that, even the issue of divorce becomes a trouble”, adds A. Avetisyan. For a number of women living with HIV/AIDS, healthcare system is not a place of treatment and care; it is rather a place where they deal with prejudice and discrimination.

productive health services for women and girls, the most vital of prerequisites to prevent HIV, is not only very low, but it is also limited in terms of laws and functions. If the woman is found to be HIV-positive, she then is subjected to accusations and violence which avoids her from HIV testing and treatment services. Nurses sometimes judge or disparage women who are expectant and live with HIV, instead of preventing the transmission of HIV to child, which is a proven scientific treatment.

First of December is World AIDS Day. We may assume that AIDS is something remote, foreign that won’t tap on our windows, won’t knock our doors. Even today our favorite stars, though physically gone, make us happy, bring pleasure into our lives, give strength and inspire us. Let us remember our idols, the faves of the humanity, those who’ve left cultural heritage and trace after themselves. However it is not only the favorite and famous that died because of AIDSrelated causes, and we shall know of such individuals as well.
Freddie Mercury (1946 - 1991) Freddie’s real name was Farrokh Bulsara; he was born in Zanzibar (Africa), to a parsi (a Zoroastrian community of the Indian Subcontinent) family. Among the creations of the legendary vocalist of Queen are hits like “Bohemian Rhapsody”, “Killer Queen”, “Somebody to Love”, “Don’t Stop Me Now”, “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” and “We Are the Champions.” He was named to be “The First Rock Star of Britain.” By the results of a 2002 BBC poll, he took the 58th place among the “100 Greatest Britons.” In 2006 Time Asia magazine named him one of the most influential Asian heroes of the last 60 years.

Michel Foucault (1926 - 1984) Michel Foucault was a French philosopher, social theorist and literary critic. One of his works is the three-volume “History of Sexuality.” His most prominent contribution to critical thought was the concept that sexuality is an invention of modern times. Although he is also described as a post-structuralist and postmodernist, he himself preferred to present his thought as a critical history of modernity. After Foucault’s death, his partner, Daniel Defert, has founded AIDES charity in his memory which fights the spread of AIDS and tuberculosis. Foucault was the first

Ofra Haza was an Israeli actress and singer of Yemenite Jewish origin. She was successful in somewhat bridging segregated Israeli and Arabic cultures by presenting her beloved Yemenite culture. The song Shir Ha’frecha which was written for a movie Schlager in which Ofra had a leading role, was not played by any radio station in Israel because of the lyrics. Nevertheless, the song became very popular in a short period of time, and it turned into number one hit

as well as some shares of a few other oil producing and recycling companies. In 2008 the Court of Human Rights of Europe decided that Russia broke four articles of the European Convention on Human Rights by imprisoning Aleksanyan. The court decided that Aleksanyan was to be set free immediately. He was released with a bond of 50 million rubles (more than 1.5 million USD) the next year. He passed away in 2011, because of AIDS-related complications. Until today there are various opinions on whether Vasily Aleksanyan was a political prisoner or not.
“European Court on Human Rights have taken decisions in special procedure three times that Aleksanyan should have been sent free immediately. But the system was resisting. It was a clear demonstration of the inhumanity of our political and law enforcement system…” ~ Leader of the movement “For Human Rights”, Lev Ponomaryov
Michael Kuhnen (1955 - 1991) Michael was one of the leaders of German Neonazi movement. He was one of the first in postwar Germany to openly embrace Nazism and to call for the formation of a Fourth Reich. In order to confuse the officials that wanted to suppress the neo-Nazi move-
ment, he founded several neo-Nazi groups at the time. When he was imprisoned for the second time 60al. When he would get accusations in neoNazi movement, he’d argue that: – Having no family would mean that he could spend more time on the militancy, – Ernst Rohm was gay, too. Kuhnen was one of the most charismatic neoNazi leaders of post-war Germany, and his coming out and the death caused by AIDS-related issues sparked discussions about homosexuality amongst the very homophobic neoNazi milieu. Even after his death, the leader of the neo-Nazi front became the person that Kuhnen himself ordered to.

When there was a campaign of “Life Without Pain” in the street, you could notice a woman, who was patiently explaining everyone, what palliative care is, who has the need for it, and why it is needed to make the access to painkillers available for those, who have the need for it. Especially the moment when she sat in the chair of torture was influential, to show on her own example the psychosis and suffering of those people, who need painkillers, which are not available for them yet. With such a dedicated work example Narine inspires to ordinary passersby, specialists working in various spheres and instills a way to treat good in her students. - Would you speak a little about palliative care? What is it and who has the need for it?

- Palliative care was first introduced by Cicely Saunders in London. She created the “Saint Christopher” hospis, where people who had pain or pain syndrome gathered. In Mrs. Cicely Saunders opinion, pain was everything, not only physical pain, but also psychological and spiritual pain. Those people, who were already helpless from medical perspective and who were alienated from society were involved in the hospis. Mainly people with cancer were involved in the hospis and the care they were getting there started to be called “hospis care”. Because in Francophone countries the word “hospis” has another meaning, in connection with that specialists came to conclusion to call that type of care a “palliative”. Palliative care comes from the word “palliate” or “pallium” (palliare in latin), which means to conceal, dissemble. This means, that the disease cannot be healed, but mainly the symptoms get treated. Saunders’ slogan was the following: “A decent life until death”. - How and why did you start doing palliative care? Why do find it important? - My first profession is anesthesiologist-reanimatologist, a person who’s directly dealing with pain, does anesthesia, who controls pain after surgery. In civilized countries the idea of pain management and the relevant specialty has been invested long ago. When in case of a acute pain a surgery can be held on, the cause or inflammation may be eliminated, the chronic pain becomes a disease or a pain syndrome itself, which is a peccant condition and leads to work disability, decline in life quality and as well as pushes out the person from his/her balanced life. Being retrained in Austria on the topic of palliative care for three times I came to conclusion, that it can also be established here. Knowing that I deal with it, my colleague involved me in that work. Accordingly our working group

was created, where people who directly deal with palliative care, specialists from the Ministry of Health, legislative bodies and others are involved. In that group I am the responsible person for education, as I also teach at State Medical University named after M. Heratsi. There is a lot of things still need to be done and there are many obstacles in the sphere of investing palliative care in Armenia. Even in the countries, where the sphere of palliative care is quite developed, there are still many prejudices concerning the use of opioids. Especially the stereotype that using opioids make you addicted is widespread. But in reality there is no such thing, as they are being used for medical, painkilling purposes and it depends on receptors. Illegal drug circulation exists and develops anyway. In the case of palliative care the pain is being evaluated according to scale, which is developed by World Health Organization (WHO), and according to which the amount of medicine is assigned (moreover, various opioid derivatives are presented as different types of medicine in the list of drugs of WHO). The dose may be increased because there is a physiological basis for that, and not because the person becomes addicted.
According to need assessment of Ministry of Health, 3500 persons a day need a palliative care in Armenia, from which 70-80% need anesthesia. However, currently anesthesia is available for only around 200 persons.

- You also appear to be an active public figure, civil society representative in frames of “Life Without Pain” project. How do you feel about it, and what successes have you achieved so far? - That is my nature; if I know something, it must be shared. And I have my opinion about patriotism: it should be applicable. I won’t stand with a flag and shout that I love my country, but instead I prefer to make real steps. If I can somehow change the life quality of an ordinary armenian, then I do it, in a result of which in some extent the welfare of the society changes. If there’s an opportunity today to change something in the society, then I do it no matter how it is implemented: from tribune of university or during the campaigns. That is my mission. And my last name coincides with my mission. - Besides being a practical doctor you also teach in Yerevan State Medical University: How can you combine these two difficult jobs? - It’s not only these two jobs that I combine. About two years ago I applied to an international project “Leadership Development Initiative for Palliative Care”, which makes leaders from all around the world in the sphere of palliative care. I won that competition and now I receive online education, we meet three times in a year

for trainings and experience exchange. In 2013 I will get a diploma in palliative assistance. In frames of this project the elite of palliative care gathers worldwide. Besides, I also came up with my individual initiative; I’ve read lectures in Dilijan, Sisian and Goris in topic of “Palliative care as healthcare problem and a profession”. I’ve also initiated to make a course on palliative care in Yerevan State Medical University named after M. Heratsi and I hope that those lectures will be conducted in 2013-2014. I think that life should work that way, the more complete, the better.
- What do you consider to be the greatest achievement in your life? - The first achievement I think of is that being anesthesiologist I’ve saved people’s lives. There were cases, when people got injuries dangerous for life and even a slight mistake could cause a person death. Years ago there

was a case, when I understood what I am living for. 17-18y/o boy was heavily stabbed and brought to hospital. It was a big problem to hold anesthesia for him. Of course everything was done and the boy got recovered and left the hospital. Years passed. I moved to “Muratsan” hospital and was working there with kids. A man approaches to me in the hospital: “Hello doctor, don’t you remember me?” Well, I’ve held anesthesia with so many kids during that time, I thought the case was related with a kid: “Would you please remind me? I can’t remember the child.” That was the guy who was recovered and later made a family. That is an achievement. Healthy people make achievements; those who already die without pain also make achievements. Changes made in educational institutions are also achievements. We are not just reading lectures for students. I try to change their attitude towards their profession, so they understand that they came to serve for the people. Medicine is a great thing. And I do not tolerate the ignorance. I’m offended with that, because I devoted all my life to medicine, I’ve gone through many barriers, I’ve put many resources. Even if human quality is changed, I won’t let it to cover medicine.

When I’d read about the social movements taking place in various countries around the world, I couldn’t help but wonder about the events unfolding in my own homeland of Armenia and the progress it was making on a cultural and national level. Relying on online news sources that were saturated with sensationalism left me dissatisfied. Attending lectures, seminars, protests and social events organized by the Armenians in my community only temporarily relieved me from the longing I felt to experience the homeland first-hand, with my own eyes. I was facing a dilemma and was tired of preserving and promoting my Armenian identity in America. So, I moved to Armenia. There is no denying the cultural revolution that’s taking place in Armenia and PINK is one of the organizations that’s catalyzing this movement. A nonprofit organization that promotes sexual health, human rights and diversity, “Public Information and Need of Knowledge” NGO (PINK) helped me realize the reality of what we are as a society coalesced with the image of what we can be. Despite the opposition’s widespread campaign to harm and interrupt their efforts, PINK continues to reinforce its mission and raise awareness through education, seminars, conferences, debates, youth training, film screenings, flash mobs, publications, parades and protests. And PINK is more than just a nonprofit organization committed to the strug-

gle toward justice, equality and peace. The fierce and resilient activists, educators and volunteers have willingly placed themselves at the forefront of mockery, danger and criticism to instill democratic principles in a nation they want to see thrive, despite formidable barriers (that include violent clashes with the opposition) that are all-too-often taken for granted. Questioning certain cultural traditions and promoting individual thought, in a population that’s hesitant to accept or embrace “western” ideals for fear of losing the culture they’ve preserved for thousands of years, is not a job; it’s a journey. If you’re interested in learning about Armenia’s increasing HIV rate and how to prevent becoming a statistic yourself, attend a PINK organized seminar. If you need pamphlets to help spread information about safe sex practices, check out their website. If you are organizing an event centered on Armenia’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community, PINK will cooperate. If you are a victim of injustice and wish to make a claim, call their office. If you’ve found yourself in an emergency situation and need protection or assistance, call their hotline. If you’re experiencing emotional or physical abuse and need someone to voice your struggle while concealing your identity, knock on their door. PINK is celebrating its 5th birthday today, and I want to wish the organization continued success in introducing and defending the civil rights of individuals in the face of hostility and discrimination. Thank you, PINK, for recognizing the democratic potential of our nation, for protecting the rights of its citizens and for allowing me to be a part of your incredible team.

International Hrant Dink Award "Inspirations 2012"
September 15 is an unforgettable day for Armenians, it is Hrant Dink‘s birthday. Already the 4th time International Hrant Dink Awards Ceremony is taking place in Istanbul, Turkey. It is an honor for us to receive a message from Hrant Dink Foundation, in which it is mentioned: “Since 2010 in addition to the granted awards, under the title “Inspirations”, the International Hrant Dink Award Ceremony cherishes and salutes those people, organizations, initiatives and projects that we support wholeheartedly, those that make us happy for sharing the same world and walking the same path. We would like to express our gratitude to you for your ambition and persistence in proving us the very fact that sometimes small steps taken for a more free and just world can be very precious. We are very happy to have you among our “Inspirations” in 2012. Thanks to you, we have greater hopes about the world.”

A number of specialists have spoken during the round table discussion who presented, in detail, problems like patients’ rights while receiving palliative care, obstacles in availability of controlling pain, the control of pain as a human right etc. Healthcare workers, lawyers, doctors, representatives of ministries and other professionals were present to the round table discussion. And a number of events were organized from September 14 – 28 in various streets of the capital of Armenia to spread information in the scope of world campaign on the availability for mitigating the pain. Activists that were involved in the series of events “Stop the pain!” would place chair of torture and would collect signatures for making pain killing drugs available to people in need of it in Armenia. “Feel free to take a seat for a minute on the chair of torture to feel the pain that millions of individuals suffer and to support this initiative!”

Discussion on anti-discrimination legislation advocacy in RA
On the occasion of the International Day of Tolerance, on November 16 “Public Information and Need of Knowledge” NGO organized a discussion which aimed to undertake, elaborate and advocate for anti-discrimination legislation in the Republic of Armenia. It is undeniable that anyone should have the real opportunity to protect their rights legally in case of discrimination against themselves. Armenia has joined and/or ratified all the main international tools to eradicate discrimination. Nevertheless, the problem of discrimination has never been discussed consistently, and there are no effective legal mechanisms to prevent and punish discrimination against individuals. It is important to shape operational mechanisms in this context to prevent discrimination, intolerance and xenophobia, as well as to respond appropriately to such manifestations. There were representatives of more than twenty human rights organizations, representatives of national minorities living in the territory of Armenia (mostly of Greek and Ezidi communities), as well as representatives from the Office of Human Rights Defender. Close to the end of the meeting the present organizations stated once more the need of being directly and actively involved in the further stages of the elaboration of that legislation, for which there was a requirement set before the HRD office to ensure the transparency and publicity of their activity. They have also urged NGOs to unify their efforts in having as inclusive anti-discrimination legislation as possible and to carry out its advocacy.

November 25 is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and it has been seven years since Women’s Resource Center carries out a march on this occasion. This year the march started by Isahakyan’s statue and ended in front of “Moscow” cinema. A small image theater performance was staged at the end of the march. The following organizations joined the march this year: “Women’s Support Center”, “Bridge of Hope”, “Public Information and Need of Knowledge” NGOs and Institute for War and Peace Reporting. Gender-based violence is a serious trouble in RA nowadays: a number of hotlines get hundreds of calls every month. Only two shelters exist in Yerevan where anually almost always there is not much room for all those in need. The attention and participation of all of us is needed to solve the problem of genderbased violence.

Volunteers’ Day at PINK
On December 5, 1985, UN General Assembly proposed governments to celebrate this day every year as International Volunteer Day for Economic and Social Development. Volunteers are those people who contribute their free time and efforts for the production of ‘public good’. “Public Information and Need of Knowledge” NGO, too, congratulated its volunteers. On December the 5th, together with “Armenian Progressive Youth” NGO an event was hosted at the office of “Public Information and Need of Knowledge” on the occasion of International Volunteer Day. Volunteers of the two organizations attended the event. The volunteers had an opportunity to get to know one another, to make presentations telling about their volunteer experience, to have fun and communicate with one another in a non-formal environment. The organizations handed certificates of appreciation to the most active and devoted volunteers during the event. This gathering was quite inspiring and motivated volunteers to undertake new activities, as well as served an example for those who were just getting involved in volunteer activism.

"Act" exhibition-competition On the occasion of Human Rights Day, December 10, Advocacy Group on AIDS organized “Act” exhibition-competition dedicated to the problems of HIV/AIDS and human rights.
“Act” competition-exhibition was a creative platform which aimed to show the problems of HIV/AIDS and human rights via visual methods. The presented works expressed the problem of HIV/AIDS, its influence on human rights and everyday life. We believe that art is a powerful political and social environment, and it gives an opportunity to show the ways by which it can influence on bringing to light issues concerning HIV/AIDS. By the works presented during the competition-exhibition, by changing people’s perceptions on issues concerning HIV/AIDS and human rights, the participants had opportunity to win a present. Authors of best artworks that were chosen by the decision of the jury and by beolders were awarded with a netbook (the jury decided that Zhora Alekyan’s artwork was the best one, and the beholders chose the artwork of Marzpetuhi Khudaverdyan as the best one). The artwork of Mariam Grigoryan took the second place by the results of votes, for which the author was awarded with a special prize.

On December 14th, 2007 receiving registration certificate, we understood, that there is no way back, that PINK should have its big input for development of civil society and establishment of democracy in Armenia. Each year the organization’s programs and activities have increased, the staff replenished with various specialists. From the first day young volunteers had their active involvement in organization’s activities, and since 2010 we have been hosting international volunteers from Sweden, USA, UK, Germany, Slovakia and other countries.

rienced organizations in the sphere. PINK is a co-founder and a member of “Coalition to stop violence against women”, “Advocacy group on AIDS” and “Human Rights House”. Several donor organizations provided financial support during this period, due to which we organized
informational-educational events in Armenia, implemented projects regarding prevention of sexually transmitted infections and human rights protection. Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has a special role in establishment and the development of our organization, which helped us to create “Information, Education, Communication” center and to expand our work in the regions of Armenia. Human rights protection is of vital importance for our organization. The foundation of the organization has always pursued the objective of addressing human rights issues in our society. The path of the organization during its 5 years of activities hasn’t always been smooth: Many

challenges that we faced during these years constantly brought with them new questions and concerns. But the answer is obvious: “that which does not kill us makes us stronger”, – as Friedrich Nietzsche would say. And here it is the beginning of new era, time to evaluate past experiences and successes, as well as time to lay the basis for new activities and future plans. We have already started the process of advocating for anti-discrimination law in Armenia, and in our future plans the component of having social-psychological support center for our beneficiaries is included. May today mark the beginning of many new joys and accomplishments… and a continuation of all of the good things that have already been achieved.
