Women
Empowerment through Professional Training
Introduction to the project During the transition period it became vital to
enhance the women’s role in development of the Democratic Societies.
That was the reason why a number of women’s organizations were
established in Armenia aiming to cover wide range of women’s problems.
However, these organizations still need support in dealing with such
problems like women unemployment, their re-qualification and training,
understanding and adaptation of the latest changes in the social
environment, as well as their better positioning in the society. We
believe that our contribution to overcome these problems will be a considerable
step towards the development of real open and civil society. The purpose of the project is to contribute to the
enhancement of the women’s role in the society, through delivery of
contemporary professional knowledge and assistance in further successful
employment. ‘IATC’ Fund recognizes that the role of public institutions is evident in building a democratic society. Being a non-governmental organization, IATC is aiming to address the problems emerging during the transition period for various groups of society through supporting them by providing with knowledge and practical tools for functioning in new social-economic environment of Armenia. As
one of this groups in our society, who needs immediate support actions,
we recognize unemployed women. On this issue IATC initiated collaboration
with one of the leading women NGOs in Armenia – All-Armenian Women Union.
