In 2016, the Coalition to Stop Violence against Women published the first report on femicide in Armenia that looked at the homicide of women in Armenia by current or former partners between 2010 and 2015.
The second report in 2018 drew on cases of femicide committed between 2016 and 2017, specifically analyzing the trial proceedings and access to justice as well as the systematic and deeply-rooted causes of the phenomenon of femicide.
The third report draws on cases of femicide committed between 2018 and 2021.
The report is comprised of four main parts. The first part describes the methodology and methodological framework for developing the report. More specifically, it addresses the aim and objectives of the study and key sources of information.
The second part discusses the conceptual questions related to the phenomenon of femicide and inclusion criteria.
The third part of the report presents femicide cases in Armenia recorded in 2018-2021 that are available. Analyzing these cases brings voice to the stories of women who lost their lives due to unequal power and control, rooted in stereotypes and widespread indifference.
The fourth part of the report presents cases of femicide published by the media, which were collected by the Coalition to Stop Violence against Women.
The report concludes with recommendations to help policymakers and the larger public tackle the root causes of femicide through more targeted and concrete actions.
