October 1 – National Day to Combat Domestic Violence
3 years ago on October 1, a young woman Zaruhi Petrosyan died following severe beatings from her husband. This was not the only case in Armenia but it was the case that shook the nation both inside the country and in the diaspora.
We, The Coalition to Stop Violence against Women, declare October 1st, the National Day to Combat Domestic Violence in Armenia and urge the government to keep its promise!
We organize a 12-hour campaign in front of the Governmental building from 9am to 9pm. The meaning of the day is prevention of domestic violence for creation of healthy and strong families.
