<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Roza Hakobyan was first elected a member of the Anushavan community of Shirak province
\nin 2015, re-running in the upcoming local self-government elections because of unfinished
\nrural development plans. She, like other youth in the community, wants Anushavan to flourish
\nso that there will be jobs, men will not be forced to work abroad, leaving the burden of the
\neconomy on the shoulders of women, so that young people's dreams come true in their native
\nvillage, so that the village will multiply.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Rosa was born and raised in a pedagogical family. After graduating from school, she chose to
\npursue a pedagogical career and graduated from Yerevan State Pedagogical University after
\nKh. Abovyan.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
According to Rosa, there are more than 100 young people of different backgrounds in the
\nvillage. Although there are no recreational areas for them, young people can make the day
\ninteresting. Thanks to cooperation with different NGOs, chess competitions, cycling,
\nweekends are organized for the village children. On the initiative of the Youth Active Group, meetings are held with the community leader, council members, and youth issues are discussed.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
According to Roza Hakobyan, the unsolved problem of the community is the issue of
\nirrigation water. The reason is the open irrigation system coming from the neighboring
\nvillage, which stretches along the houses, damaging the foundations of the houses, and the
\nwater floods the basements. With the money allocated from the community budget, the
\nconstruction of a closed irrigation system will begin next year.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A large part of the population of the village lives in poor conditions. During her years as a
\nmember of the Council of Elders, Rosa Hakobyan has been able to solve the issue of textbook
\nrentals due to the community administration, and socially disadvantaged families have
\nreceived financial support.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Rosa has regularly participated in Council of Elders sessions, made educational and cultural
\nsuggestions that have been incorporated into the community development program. For the
\npast four years, Rosa was not alone in the council, but another female member of the council
\nleft the council to move to another country. And although Rosa is the only female councilor in
\nthe sessions, she is not restrained.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Roza Hayobyan considers positive that the number of women in the National Assembly has
\nincreased, that there are many young people, and that their bold and literate suggestions make
\nany discussion interesting. Naturally, she would also like to be in their ranks, though she
\nunderstands that she still has a long way to go to work on herself, fully master the Electoral
\nCode and other laws, overcome the constraint of being able to speak on her platform from a
\nhigh podium.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
