The International Day of Women Entrepreneurship, approved by the United Nations in 2014
\nand celebrated on November 19th, is the best opportunity to assess the potential of women in
\nthe economic, political and social field.<\/p>\n

Although various public and private programs and initiatives in Armenia have promoted
\nwomen’s work in various projects in recent years, the figures still do not give rise to
\n“boasting”. The picture was different about a decade ago, now it can be seen that women have
\nbecome more bold and purposeful, and there are even numerous examples of successful business stories in the remote regions being mostly women, and this phenomenon is certainly
\nnot just for one or two families. It solves the problem of bread, but also promotes proportional
\neconomic development in the regions.<\/p>\n

About two months ago, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan mentioned that as
\nenvisaged by the pre-election program, they intend to make profound changes that will create
\nnew real opportunities for increasing women’s social, economic and political activism. The
\nPrime Minister attached importance to women’s economic activity from the point of view of
\nnational security, appreciating the unity and strength of women underlying the revolution.
\nOpportunities to expand women’s involvement in economic and social life, to secure self-
\nemployment in different areas and to fully realize their potential are large, but their obstacles
\nare different, according to Lilit Asatryan, President of the Armenian Young Women’s
\nAssociation.<\/p>\n
