EQUAL – EU 4 Women Empowerment in Armenia

Description

1) Objective

OxYGen Foundation for Protection of Youth and Women Rights (OxYGen) is an independent advocacy and development foundation driven by its vision of an Armenia free of poverty and suffering, in which women and men can exercise their rights and influence decisions that impact their lives. OxYGen is implementing its program interventions based on its 5-year strategy in line with its strategic priorities: Gender Equality, Youth Empowerment, Accountable Governance, Economic Justice, and Resilience Building and Humanitarian assistance.

The project “EQUAL – EU 4 Women Empowerment in Armenia” aims to elevate and empower women in Armenia to bring about societal change across the country. To do so, EQUAL provides women with support to exercise their political, economic and socio-cultural rights, targeting specifically those from vulnerable and disadvantaged groups. EQUAL adopts a cross-cutting approach to tackling women’s issues that are often pushed to the margins of policymaking, including human trafficking, sexual and reproductive education, harassment in the workplace, or the impact of gender norms in social groups.
