Female innovators -2021 \u2024 Top 10 Stories<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

WomenNet.am has summed up the “Women Innovators in Pandemic – Overcoming the Post-War Efforts” campaign, within the framework of which more than 50 stories were revealed and published in 2021. The 10 most read stories about the remarkable initiatives of women in different spheres were presented in the multimedia summary “Women Innovators in Crisis”.<\/p>\n

As part of the campaign, we talked about the women who, with their innovative ideas and initiatives, help overcome the crisis situation in Armenia due to the severe psychological consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic, the socio-economic and psychological consequences of the Second Artsakh War.<\/p>\n

We consider innovation to be the initiative of women in any field that has the potential to solve any problem of public importance, to bring about real change, to support the community or the people around them, to overcome depressive moods in society, to ensure women’s progress.<\/p>\n

Women at the helm of executive power. the first woman prime minister to date<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Statistics show that in the period 1960-2021, the number of women in the highest executive positions in the world never exceeded 19 in a year, which is less than 10% of the number held in those positions (number of UN member states – 193). Women have held the highest executive positions in only 58 countries since 1960. The first democratically elected woman prime minister was Sri Lanka’s Sirimavo Bandaranayek, who took over the leadership of Sri Lanka’s Freedom Party when her husband was assassinated in 1959. Sri Lanka is one of only thirteen countries to hold more than one female executive, most of which are located either in the Indian subcontinent or in northern Europe. Of these thirteen, New Zealand and Finland are the only countries to have three women leaders, including incumbent Prime Ministers Jacinda Arder and Sanna Marin.<\/p>\n

Women in the Armenian labor market. discrimination in numbers and facts<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are two main reasons why women are barred from entering the labor market. The first is the lack of opportunities to combine work and caring for family members. Often women are simply unable to return to work after giving birth because the state is unable to solve the problem of preschool children, and the cost of nanny and private kindergarten services is sometimes higher than expected. A second common circumstance in Armenia is the direct prohibition of the husband to work. In our country, men often decide where, in what profession and under what conditions a woman will work. Or will she work or no.<\/p>\n

The Zapel International Forum will bring together women writers<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The launch of the Zapel International Forum of Women Writers was announced in Yerevan this year. The forum is named after Zapel Yesayan, who constantly raises the issues of women’s equality in the 20th century. This is how the organizers of the forum formulate their goal.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“By her example, Zapel Yesayan, like other women in the forum, both Armenian and foreign, has no intention of proving their existence or the adequacy of grace to their male pen pals. The forum will provide a platform to present and create a dialogue at the international level. By their example, the participants will instill in young people the absolute courage to be writers, to all of us to live, to create, to be happy. \u201d<\/p>\n
