Summary of “March 8th Every Day” Series of Events
13.04.2013
Every year the Women's Resource Center organizes a number of events for March 8th, International Women's Rights Day. These events are dedicated to the protection of women's rights within various fields and to the struggle against discrimination and violence. For the entire month of March until April 7th, which is celebrated in Armenia as the Day of Motherhood and Beauty, different events are implemented aimed at raising awareness and empowering women in Armenian society.
This year's campaign was named "March 8th Every Day" and started off with a performance march on March 8th. The march started from Isahakyan's Statue and ended on Northern Avenue. Although the Women's Resource Center has a tradition of organizing big demonstrations and marches for March 8th every year, this year it was different in character. It was the first time that theater of the oppressed, including tall, colorful puppets were used in our March 8th celebration. There was also a street performance in which the performers painted their faces white and according to gender, since some of them were representing men and some women. The performance showed different situations in which women can be oppressed in our society such as in the work-place, in the family, and on the street.
