Feminist Activist Space<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
From January to July 2024, 253 persons<\/strong> used the Women\u2019s Resource Center\u2019s feminist safe space to participate in various events and receive the Center\u2019s services.
February 16-18th and June 14-16th, the WRC organized the twice-a-year \u201cWomen\u2019s Rights Three-day\u201d<\/strong> training. 23 persons <\/strong>participated in the first training, while 24<\/strong> attended the second one. As a result of the training, the participants had the opportunity to apply for subgrants to implement their feminist projects. At the end of the first training, 4 sub-grant projects <\/strong>were carried out, including a women\u2019s well-being gathering, awareness-raising meetings for teenage girls, an informational platform about Armenian women (armfemmes<\/a>), and discussions on gender equality. Another 4 projects<\/strong> are in progress as a result of the second training.
