We are happy to greet you, dear reader.
This issue of the e-mag is mainly centered on the topic of HIV/AIDS, as on the occasion of December 1, World AIDS Day, numerous events took place. In the scope of "16 Days of Activism against Gender Violence" series of activities took place in Armenia, just like in more than 160 other countries of the world. These were events occurring in our country, it were us that were the witnesses of these, correlating with the cases in various ways; one by participating, the other by supporting, and the third by encouraging. PINK Armenia has also published an important survey which is the first in Armenia concerning the stereotypes and public opinion on LGBT citizens of RA. The phenomenon of homophobia is also presented. Ten reasons are speculated on why HIV/AIDS should be perceived in the context of Human Rights in a separate article. Hillevi and Pavlina share their feelings, emotions, thoughts and experience of Armenia in the "Traveler". As in the past issues, the past events are shown as well. We congratulate on the occasion of the New Year. We hope that the coming year will be one bringing spiritual awakening, rise of consciousness, dynamic activities, progress and love. We hope your reading experience will be a pleasant one, Wwth love and respect, AS YOU e-mag.

“Real World Real People” NGO was founded in 2003 by a group of enthusiastic young people who strived to unite people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Armenia and provide care and support for them. The organization’s mission is to increase quality-of-life for people living with HIV and their families, to strengthen the idea of self- and mutual help within the community, to unite the community by providing direct psychological, social and legal services and also to advocate for universal access to HIV/AIDS treatment, care, support and testing. The main goal of the organization is to improve all elements of quality-of-life of PLHIV. The organization’s main direction of activity has not changed for eight years, but its scope of interests has widened: the organization has added the component of human rights protection of the vulnerable groups of people toward HIV to the protection of the rights of people living with HIV.

(CCM) on Tuberculosis from 2008. The organization has become a member of Eastern Europe & Central Asia Union of PLHIV from 2007. The Union is one of the main organizations in the region which unites PLHIV communities in 15 countries. The main goal of the organization is to assist the involvement of PLHIV in society, increase access to treatment, to improve care and support services in the countries of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. As employees of the organization prove, the biggest success of the NGO in these years of functioning is that the organization has become such an environment, a family, where people come with joy, not only for getting help, but also to help each other mutually, because it has helped them realize that they need to be actively involved in the process of improvement of their lives. “Real World Real People” NGO calls everyone to be active citizens in our country, and to do for others all that which they would like others to do for them. This is the philosophy, upon which the basis of the organization’s activity lays. If you are interested in “Real World Real People” NGO’s activities the organization is open for help and support.

The HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection epidemic has today become a global crisis, and has become a barrier to the development of the Millennium Challenge Account. The protection of human rights of people living in high risk of HIV infection (injecting drug users, sex-workers and men having sex with men), as well as those who are living with HIV, has key and strategic importance. People belonging to the abovementioned groups are generally left out of public health programs, and they do not receive support and appropriate services. What’s more, in Armenia, these marginalized groups are subjected to discrimination and trampling-upon of their human rights in nearly every area of life, because they belong to these groups. There are certain organizations and institutes in our society which try to work in the field of protecting the rights of members of these marginalized groups who try to resolve the main issues of the people in these groups. Unfortunately, there is a lack of coordination and the organizations are often not registered and official. The stigma, the discrimination and the public’s intolerant attitude towards these people not only create opportunities for the trampling of human rights, but also build up obstacles to these people’s inclusion in public health protection programs. The trampling of the rights of these groups which are highly vulnerable to HIV as well as those who live with HIV has two main sources. First, there are gaps and deficiencies in state laws and second, common prejudices and socalled traditional attitude towards people who live high-HIV-risk lifestyles. Those organizations and institutes which try to work in the field of protecting the rights of members of margin-

alized groups have certain barriers and boundaries which in turn prevent the recruitment of beneficiaries to appropriate programs. These main issues, remain in reality, undiscussed behind closed doors and are not given public attention.
Today, in Armenia, there live more than 2000 sex-workers, 5000 injecting drug users, 13,000 men having sex with men and 2500 people living with HIV (from 1988 to October 31, 2011, 1127 cases of HIV infection were recorded among citizens, of which 148 were during 2010. An assessment of the reality of HIV/AIDS in Armenia shows that the estimated number of those living with HIV is actually about 2500 people). In nearly every aspect of their lives, these people encounter discrimination and undignified treatment. What’s more, the violations of their rights, which define their lives in every sphere, remain unresolved without specialist intervention. On one hand there is inaccessibility to and lack of organizations which work on the protection of the rights of these marginalized groups, and on the other, there is a lack of information given to them regarding how it is possible to resolve

these issues – where to apply to receive necessary and quality services. Upset by these issues and also interested in the protection of human rights and the accessibility of official organizations, “Real World, Real People” and “Public Information and Need of Knowledge” (PINK Armenia) NGOs, since July of 2011, have cooperatively started to realize their “Legal Clinic for Most at Risk Population” program. The organizations hope that in the pursuit of coordinated, targeted and competent legal services, they will increase recruitment of people living high-risk lifestyles to HIV-prevention programs. The organizations also are hoping to create a basis for change of policies, laws and practices through fair, public and strategic litigation. The protection of human rights is important in every domain of life, including the area of health. The protection of the rights of people at high risk of HIV infection and people living with HIV has unique meaning and importance, since there is a lack of human rights and respect regarding people living in high-risk of HIV. Provided these people are treated with worth and allowed to live a life free of discrimination, the negative impact of the epidemic on individuals and society will decrease. Protecting human rights has utmost importance regarding this effective HIV epidemic, for showing that there are legally justified reactions in the face of it. This assumes the safekeeping of all human rights and having all key freedoms fulfilled according to applicable international norms. The organizations involved in the “Legal Clinic for Most at Risk Population” project divide their beneficiaries into four main categories: people living with HIV, injecting drug users, sex workers and men having sex with men, and hope to provide to them the following services in a timely and geographical manner: • legal counseling, • applications, claims and other necessary documents,

On the 25-th of November started the 16 days of activism Campaign which is directed to eliminate gender based violence against women and girls all over the world. A 16-day message aimed to speak out for women’s rights and make their voice heard where it has been silenced. This Campaign itself is rather imperative and important even nowadays when most of the people think that gender discrimination does not exist in the fast developing world of tolerance, “modern” thinking and unbiased treatment towards women and girls. But, unfortunately, the reality is different: • 1 of every 3 women experiencing domestic violence around the world is also subjected to sexual assault. • In the first semester of 2011 there were 10 registered legal cases on trafficking in Armenia; 8 are related to sexual trafficking of women. • In Armenia, women are still getting abortions based on gender choice (favoring male fetuses over female). The gender ratio has reached a scandalous. • In Armenia, we have 131 deputies and only 11 among them are women. • Poverty strikes women the most; globally 70% among the poorest are women. • In Armenia, we have 18 ministers; among them only 2 are women. • In the world, 95% of victims of domestic violence are women.

The 16 Days of Activism against Gender Violence is an international campaign originating from the first Women’s Global Leadership Institute sponsored by the Center for Women’s Global Leadership in 1991. In 1991, the Center for Women’s Global Leadership convened the first Women’s Global Leadership Institute (WGLI). The 23 participants came from different countries in all of the world’s regions and were drawn from a variety of fields - lawyers, policymakers, teachers, health care workers, researchers, journalists, and activists. As one strategy to build awareness about gender-based violence and facilitate networking among women leaders working in this area, the WGLI participants established the 16 Days of Activism against Gender Violence Campaign, choosing to symbolically link November 25th (International Day against Violence against Women) and December 10th (International Human Rights Day). The days in between also hold significance. November 29th is International Women Human Rights Defenders Day, December 1st is World AIDS Day, December 5th is International Volunteer Day, and December 6th is the anniver-

sary of the Montreal Massacre, and observed in Canada as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women. Each year there is an official theme. This year’s theme, “From Peace in the Home to Peace in the World: Let’s Challenge Militarism and End Violence against Women!” puts the spotlight on militarism and its role in perpetuating violence against women and girls. “The violence we encounter is often profoundly influenced by national, regional, and international policies and practices, and challenges us to act in solidarity to promote an end to militarism and violence against women,” says Dr. Radhika Balakrishnan, Executive Director of the Center for Women’s Global Leadership; the coordinator of the 16 Days Campaign. The campaign works in many different ways to combat gender violence, including by raising awareness about gender violence as a human rights issue at local, national, regional and

international levels, creating solidarity among local anti gender-violence groups, making the link between gender violence and human rights violation clear, and through all of these actions, working to pressure governments into taking tangible steps to eliminate gender violence. The campaign wishes to change and resolve the issue through education and awareness. Since 1991, the annual 16 Days Campaign has mobilized more than 3,700 organizations in 164 countries to raise awareness about the pervasiveness of the multiple forms of violence women face. All over the world the 16 Days Campaign has grown into a powerful platform to educate the public and governments about violence against women and human rights.

As recently as October 2011, clinical trials of HIV vaccines have shown that it may indeed be possible to reduce HIV to minor infection status but it’s a bit premature for any big celebrations. Despite breakthroughs in research, the best way to protect oneself against HIV infection and other sexually transmitted infections is still to use a condom during sex. In a Phase I clinical trial of an MVA-B HIV vaccine developed by scientist at the Spanish Superior Scientific Research Council in Madrid, the results showed that out of 30 healthy volunteers (not infected with HIV) who were given the vaccine, 90% developed immunity against the virus, and 85% maintained their immunity for a year. According to the study, if this vaccine also passes Phase II and Phase III trials, and is produced for distribution, HIV could have the same sort of status as the herpes virus has today. The researchers have said that the vaccine is made up of pieces of the HIV virus’ genetic ma-

terial. The vaccine functions like it is showing the immune system a picture of the enemy, so that if it ever comes in contact with it, it knows how to fight it. Moreover, the trial participants could not accidentally contract HIV because the pieces in the vaccine cannot replicate. Although this vaccine is a breakthrough in HIV treatments/cure research, it is by no means the only avenue that will be explored. This vaccine will eventually be a therapeutic vaccine, which means it will be given to people who are already HIV positive, and could take the place of current anti-retroviral drugs that have to be taken each day as pills. Perhaps the treatment would be reduced to one injection a year, or less. There are also other options such as using direct gene therapy as treatment or as preventative care – offered to HIV negative people who regularly put their sexual health at risk such as sex-workers. HIV is such a complex virus that any insight into how it works and how to treat it are significant steps forward, while at the same time, the more scientists learn, the more they see that there is to continue to discover. In 2009, the U.S. Military HIV Research Program and the Thai government published results of a 3 year long HIV vaccine trial in which there were 16,000 volunteer subjects.

statistically significant, may not end up being clinically significant due to cost and difficulty of manufacturing the vaccine, and low effectiveness. Moreover, the vaccine was based on the strains of HIV common in Thailand, which are different than the strain prevalent in Africa. In May of 2011, a successful vaccine trial was conducted on macaque monkeys which are vulnerable to simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) the monkey equivalent of HIV. This vaccine was based on a genetically modified version of another monkey virus, rhesus cytomegalovirus (CMV). Although the results of this test showed that the vaccine afforded immunity to SIV to about half of the subjects for up to one year, much more research has to be done to ensure the safety of the vaccine before it can be tried on humans. Introduction of CMV into humans may not be completely safe, because that virus itself is not completely benign and may accidentally cause contraction of other diseases in humans. The path to where we are today has been long and hard. HIV vaccine research has been and continues to be one of the biggest fields of research of vaccination/infectious disease curing. Since the discovery of HIV as the cause of AIDS, a lot of focus has been paid upon the development of a vaccine, but as of yet, there is nothing fully effective. Both governmental and non-governmental forces are at work on the development and discovery of a cure for this virus which is the cause of AIDS, one of the main problems on the planet. HIV/AIDS twin pandemics are a big issue globally. In Armenia, currently there are 1136 number of people infected with HIV and 536 whose infections have developed into AIDS. Though in Armenia, the outbreaks are well controlled by drugs and preventative care for, for example, unborn children of women with HIV or AIDS, in many places across the globe, the numbers of those infected are so high that highly individualized care is not a feasible option. HIV and AIDS are global issues and require the at-

tentions and efforts of people across the world to raise awareness. Every single person who practices and/or teaches safe sex habits is singlehandedly helping decrease the likelihood of the spread of the disease. December 1st is World AIDS Day, and people across the world mark this day with actions such as HIV/AIDS education and advocacy for the rights of those who are HIV positive or have developed AIDS.

Human Rights and HIV/AIDS: now more than ever
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Health and welfare are basic human rights. But until now the education of the population on the topics like health, healthcare, and human rights has been low, and the governmental institutions are not interested in human rights protection, because their implementation requires appropriate resources and efforts. The problem gets deeper in the frames of human rights protection of those people who live with HIV. At the United Nations High Level Meeting on HIV/AIDS in 2006, world leaders reaffirmed that “the full realization of all human rights and fundamental freedoms for all is an essential element in the global response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic”. “Human rights and HIV/AIDS: now more than ever” declaration affirms that, now more than ever, human rights should occupy the center of the global struggle against HIV and AIDS.

These are the key supportive arguments given by people who struggle against HIV/AIDS and for the protection of human rights in that sphere.
1 Universal access will never be achieved without human rights. n 2006, world leaders committed “to pursuing all necessary effort towards the goal of universal access to comprehensive prevention programs, treatment, care and support by 2010.” Yet many of those most in need of HIV services are still the least likely to receive them: • Women and girls face widespread discrimination and gender-based violence, including within marriage, which fuels their HIV risk and impedes their access to information and services. • Children and youth lack unfettered access to HIV information, sexual and life-skills education. • Most high-risk HIV populations, such as men who have sex with men, people who use drugs, and sex workers, are driven from HIV services by negative attitudes from society, stigma and discrimination, and violence from society which cuts off target populations from the services of HIV prevention, treatment and support.
2 Gender inequality makes women more vulnerable to HIV, with women and girls now having the highest rates of infection in heavily affected countries.

The main reason for this is women’s deep political, social, economic, and sexual subordination, which is inscribed in law and enshrined in culture and practice. Discrimination, stigma, and violence are also daily realities for many women living with HIV and AIDS.
3 The rights and needs of children and young people are largely ignored in the response to HIV, even though they are the hardest hit in many places. HIV is significantly an epidemic of young people. Youth aged 15 to 24 account for over half of new HIV infections worldwide. Children are born with HIV at alarming rates despite proven methods of preventing HIV transmission during pregnancy and childbirth.
4 The worst affected receive the least attention in national responses to HIV. Most at risk population towards HIV in our society like drug users, sex workers, men who have sex with men and people living with HIV are socially marginalized from the society, they face discrimination, hate and violence from almost all spheres of the society, which directly contributes to their deprivation from HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care services.
5 Effective HIV-prevention, treatment, and care programs are under attack. It has been shown time and again that HIV programs are most effective when based on people’s voluntary, informed, and open engagement with evidence-based health services.

what is most effective. However, recent trends toward coercive and “one size fits all” approaches have placed proven HIV and AIDS services in unprecedented jeopardy.
6 AIDS activists risk their safety by demanding that governments provide greater access to HIV and AIDS services. In many countries, activists who demand access to HIV and AIDS services face the threat of censorship, defamation, violence, imprisonment, and other recriminations by their governments. Laws placing restrictions on the establishment of nongovernmental organizations make it even harder for civil society to develop an independent voice for sound and effective AIDS policies in their countries.
7 The protection of human rights is the way to protect the public’s health. The protection of a full range of human rights is the key to protecting public health. Building on this reality, human rights activists have achieved great gains in the fight against AIDS: the right to nondiscrimination on the basis of HIV status, the right to treatment as part of essential health care, and the right of people living with HIV and AIDS to participate in the development of AIDS policies and programs. In fact, human rights are essential to public health and to a successful response to HIV.
8 AIDS poses unique challenges and requires an exceptional response. More than any other modern epidemic, AIDS challenges governments’ responsibility and accountability. Deep fears and prejudices surrounding sex, blood, disease, and death—as well as the perception that HIV is related to “deviant” or

“immoral” behaviors such as sex outside marriage, sex between men, and drug use—causes political leaders to shy away from addressing the epidemic. Controversial issues such as gender equality and adolescent sexuality and sexual education are neglected in the global response to AIDS, not least because women and children lack the political power to keep their issues high on the agenda.
9 “Rights-based” responses to HIV are practical, and they work. Human rights approaches to HIV are not abstract, but real, practical and cost-effective. For example, in Brazil that have placed human rights at the center of their AIDS responses have seen epidemics averted or slowed.
10 Despite much rhetoric, real action on HIV/AIDS and human rights remains lacking. On paper, the place of human rights in the response to HIV is well established. However, in practice, there have been few efforts to cost, budget, and implement national programs that would secure legal and human rights protections for people living with, affected by, or vulnerable to HIV and AIDS. Only one-third of the nations in the world have undertaken legal steps, outright illegalizing discrimination towards people with HIV and other HIV-related vulnerable groups.

Phase one The first phase of studies gave a chance to accumulate reliable pieces of information on cases of violation of LGBT persons’ rights. They have also tried to find out how well the legal field actually does guarantee the protection of LGBT persons – citizens of our country. By analysing the information gathered during the survey, a general picture of LGBT rights was amassed, including the perception of LGBT persons of their rights, their opinions on discriminatory demeanour and expression of homophobic behaviour in various regions of Armenia, as well as compared to other states. Afterwards, attitude towards LGBT persons and cases of violation of their rights in family, workplace, educational institutions, mass media and other places are represented. As existent problems, those pertaining to health have been analyzed particularly. Subsequently, ways to decrease discrimination recommended by respondents are submitted.
Phase two ‘’Public attitude toward LGBT persons in Yerevan, Gyumri and Vanadzor cities: 2011’’ is a quantitative social survey at the heart of which is the

accumulation of data and analyse of it on the following: • vulnerable groups in Armenia, • information on LGBT persons, • attitude/stance toward LGBT persons.
Here are certain interesting details which became known thanks to the survey: 49.5% of inhabitants of Yerevan think that there are more men among the LGBT group, and 49.4% of inhabitants from Gyumri think that women prevail among LGBTs. Some of the respondents think that homosexuality is: • a disease - 18.6%, • the negative influence of western countries12.7%, • a result of upbringing - 10.8%: 72.1% of respondents mentioned that their attitude toward LGBT persons is negative. 66.9% of respondents think that the society shall condemn LGBT persons. 97.4% think that homosexuality is a deviation. 55.3% of respondents stated that they would cease any contact with his/her friend/relative/ acquaintance, if they find out that that person is homosexual. The results of the survey were predictable to some extent and unexpected sometimes. The outcome has shown that the majority of the respondents does not regard LGBT persons as a vulnerable group (it is 6.3 percent only which has regarded LGBTs as a vulnerable group). The undertakers of the survey were concerned, since its beginning, that some could get to the probable conclusion: “Yes, the majority is intolerant, and that’s the way it should be”. Being more careful with this, recommendations were given a special importance which is directed to: • the government of RA, • the Human Rights Defender’s Institution of RA,

One may suspect that the negative attitude with respect to LGBT persons is conditioned by the lack of information and knowledge. The survey has clearly validated that there are problems as regards to perception and attitude that LGBT people receive. Thus, in Armenia LGBT persons nowadays are perceived in a way that the left-handers, for instance, were perceived decades ago – as “deviated” which shall be “helped out” in order them to “become normal” and those who disobey, shall be removed or alienated from the society. The interviewers themselves have gone through interesting adventures in the process of realising this survey. The process was hard, sometimes even dangerous. They would often be greeted by concerned house owners who would think that they are lying and that they just wanted to rob the house. One of the female interviewers was almost attacked by a father who thought that they were trying to “seduce” his son by asking questions regarding “sexual minorities”... the son which involuntarily “enjoyed” the protection of his father was above 18 years old. Lusine too, being the coordinator of the working process, was having troubled time whilst this project was ongoing; hearing all these stories the interviewers would go through and doublechecking the work and reading all these swearing words they have used to describe LGBT persons wasn’t something that easy-to-digest. This survey is the first of its kind for Armenia, and it is critically important. The survey gives a chance not only to grasp the Armenian realities, it is also a base for further steps, it will serve as an initial comprehensive source of information for the successive surveys as well.

What is homophobia? Homophobia (Greek: homios – same, phobia – fear) is the fear, hatred and disgust toward homosexual people or those perceived to be homosexual and from homosexuality. Homophobia is built on negative stereotypes and prejudices. There are different sorts of homophobia. In case of being affected with a clinical homophobia one is really contaminated with physical disgust or fright against homosexuals or those perceived as homosexuals which one may not control. Sometimes it can be accompanied by or alter up to paranoia. The significant element of homophobia is the irrational fear. The clinical homophobia has clear mental, emotional and physical symptoms. Here are few of them: a feeling of uncontrollable anxiety, a yearning to do everything possible to avoid anything that has to do with homosexuality, often, the knowledge that your fears are unreasonable or exaggerated, but feeling powerless to control them. Internal homophobia is the fear of the homosexual person about her/his own homosexuality. In case of internal homophobia, a person is severely suppressing his/her own homosexual desires which is due to a conflict between his/ her own passions, desires, fantasies and religious or social beliefs, because of which the person may have an internal struggle.

ternal struggle can result in clinical depression. Institutional homophobia is characterized by use of homophobia by certain establishments or (often state or religious) institutions. This includes criminalisation and penalisation of homosexuality, hate speech use by officials or spokesmen belonging to that establishment and other expressions of persecution, violence and discrimination against homosexual humans. Homophobia is sometimes regarded as a branch of xenophobia, meaning that it is a fear against the “stranger, other”, from an individual who is ‘different’ from one experiencing these fears or discomfort. Homophobia is also regarded in the scope of sexism as homosexual men are sometimes regarded as “dishonoured”, because “they have lost their masculinity”, they “imitate women”, and the status of the woman is lower; it is not honourable to “refuse” one’s masculinity and “imitate” a woman. And some homosexual women are viewed to be “usurpers” of man’s role, “impersonators” of men.

How and Why Homophobia is spread? Mariana van Zeller reveals one of the basic means or tools of spreading homophobia in a notable documentary “Missionaries of hate” the interpretation of religion. Exactly the same religion can be used both to spread love, tolerance, unanimity, peace and unity, as well as hatred, terror, agitations, mess, turbulence and separatism. Fear and dread are often used in societies where there is a lack of knowledge and information, in case of which this tactic works very effectively, especially if that particular society is in economic, political and natural (natural disasters occur) instable state. Historically fear and dread were a fit method to govern mobs, control them, as well as to hurt one’s foe or competitor (from defamation up to executing and taking over their fortune). Chiefly, methods of dehumanisation, segregation and terror are used to spread homophobia. Dehumanisation is the process or phenomenon of portraying a person or a social group as inhumane or having negative qualities, for which they often use labelling (e.g. politicians are “liars”, homosexuals are “antisocial elements”, Europeans are “immoral” etc). Segregation is the separation of an individual, a social group or a phenomenon from others (for instance, in Nazi Germany Jews were not allowed to live next to Germans.

a mental level, too, through science, religion, sometimes through art and/or other means. Terror is the spread of fear to frighten individuals or a group of individuals (e.g. “Beware of homosexuals! They want to rape your children!”). Often, in order dehumanization and terror to be successful, they also use the substitution: a phenomenon can be represented in a way which is not true or the notion is interpreted in a wrong way, by purpose, the goal of which is to fool the interested parties (E.g. homosexuality is represented in the same light as paedophilia, and homosexuals are depicted as paedophiles). Speaking about the institutional homophobia, hatred and intolerance against homosexuality and/or homosexual individuals may be diffused through a specific establishment or institution, justifying it as a noble mean to protect “the nation” or the “children”, for the “patriotic ambitions”, to “conserve the traditional values”, sometimes even “in the name of commonwealth of homosexuals” or “For the Greater Good”.

How to overcome homophobia? If we look upon homophobia in the context of xenophobia and sexism, then it is imperial to disroot the two. On the other hand, overcoming other social phobias could make a grand progress, yet it is not necessarily a guarantee per se to the eradication of homophobia, if no proper actions are undertaken. Clinical homophobia, as other clinical phobias and fears, is addressed by specialists. For instance, Jan Heering from Morpheus Institute in the Netherlands. For overcoming irrational fear (and hatred emanates from fear), different types of methods are used, mostly therapies, NLP (Neuro Linguistics Programming) and Time Lane Therapy among others. Internal or internalized homophobia, too (which is also called egodystonic homophobia), shall be treated with the help of specialists. American Psychological Association (APA) suggests

that gay affirmative psychotherapies are helpful. The results of the study of Leela Grace have shown that persons being brought up openminded and having some contact with homosexuals are more tolerant. One of the most important results of the research was that it pointed out to the incredible transformative power of friendship and person-to-person interaction. Thus, it is: - the visibility and representation of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) persons in the society, - the circulation of science-based knowledge, - as well as the process of getting rid of other prejudices and phobias that are important for overcoming social, religious and cultural homophobia. The best way of protecting oneself against the institutionalised homophobia is mostly having anti-discriminatory legislation and using it properly.

Berthe Morisot was able to do something that almost seemed impossible for her time: with remaining faithful to her ideals, becoming one of the most important characters in the history of Impressionism. She was one of those brave and talented artists who challenged and rejected the traditional academic style and in 1874 presented her works at the art exhibition of Parisian painter Nadar.

The exhibition was a really big event in the cultural life of Paris. Thirty young artists were presented with over 165 works, which were quite different from the works existing previously, winning them a fresh wind. Immediately they started to talk and spar about this new movement which was called Impressionism. These artists became the target of journalists and the public. The journalists mentioned Berthe Morisot among the brave ones as well, of course by criticizing her choice. They immediately mentioned about her grandfather, a famous French painter Jean Honore Fragonard, who, according to journalists, must have turned in his grave after his granddaughter’s extravagant step. Even the people that knew Berthe well were unable to appreciate / accept the art in the innovative way. Joseph Guichard, who taught Berthe the basics of art, wrote to Berthe’s mother about his impressions of the exhibition: “Dear Mrs. Morisot, when I entered there and saw your daughter’s works in that sick environment, the feeling of despondency came over me. . . If we look at it conscientiously, then somewhere we can find wonderful works, but one way or another, all of them are abnormal. Ms. Berthe has also become the victim of this mental disorder, her brain is a little bit exhaled”. Despite the fact that her art was not accepted, Berthe Morisot did not stray from her chosen path, and time put everything in its place and today her name has its unique spot in the history of Impressionism. Berthe was born in 1841 in Bourge, Cher, France, where her father was quite an important figure. For her time period, she received an amazing education. Berthe

was interested in art since her childhood and standard art classes did not suffice her. Even her teacher, noticing her and her sister’s talent, said that they could be great artists but she would be a revolutionary in that field. For Berthe, meeting the French artist Camille Corot was a meaningful event. The artist began not only giving Morisot advice regarding her art but also was carefully following Berthe’s progress and became a close friend of the family; Corot was famous for her self-restraint. Berthe gained great knowledge and new skills from Corot. Already at twenty-three years old, she exhibited her work at The Hall, where the qualifications for choosing art to display were quite strict, but Berthe’s work was displayed there for several years.
Edouard Manet as Part of Berthe Morisot’s Life In 1868, Berthe met Edouard Manet at the Louvre. Manet was impressed by Berthe’s talent and her unique beauty – he made more than 10 portraits of her. However, regardless of attraction, nothing but friendship was possible between the two, because Manet was married. Manet had a great influence on Berthe’s work, therefore Berthe was quite independent and understood the importance of personal style. Sometimes even after taking direction from Manet, Berthe would become upset, feeling that in the pursuit of the ideal image, the art lost its personality and ceased to be her creation. Manet introduced Berthe to such Impressionists as Monet, Renoir, Sisley, Degas, Pissarro and Cézanne. Amazingly, Berthe was accepted into their group, they respected her, and even the oft-sarcastic Degas spoke of Berthe with respect.

In the 1874 exhibition, Berthe exhibited 9 pieces, of which one was the piece “The Cradle”. As a change to the traditional depiction of Madonna and child, in Berthe’s painting a modern woman is portrayed protecting her child’s sleep. Berthe never portrayed nudes in her art; for her, the night clubs, theaters and the crazy and lawless Parisian world were foreign. The content of her work was bounded by the interests of the women of bourgeoisie families – motherhood, family life, gardens and outings in nature… However, at the same time, she quite delicately includes the emotions and daily life of women, depicting them worried and busy. Some critics are shocked at her perception of such women a vast number of her paintings reflect the virtuous, well-bred woman while at the same time showing some internal fire and charm which is seemingly hidden from the rest of the world. She, with her moderate stance, yet seems to remind the male sex of woman’s unattainability and delicacy.

Berthe’s Family Life Morisot’s family was very tight-knit, Berthe had an especially close relationship since childhood with her sister, who after marriage was forced to let go of her artistic dreams, and so supported Berthe in her artistic life and often served as Berthe’s model. Her sister’s marriage, a happy affair in general, nevertheless did not interest Berthe. She could not picture her life without art, and at that time it was seen as impossible for a woman to compromise career and family. Berthe’s mother would even get upset. Berthe turned thirty, but she was not yet planning any marriage, despite the fact that there was no short-

age of suitors. Poet Stephane Mallarme said “She seems unboundedly proud and standoffish, but her coldness itself is charming making it impossible to remain indifferent.” Surprisingly, Berthe ended up marrying Edouard Manet’s younger brother, Eugene Manet to whom it seemed he could change Berthe’s skeptical outlook on marriage. More than one year later, Berthe writes “I am married to an amazing, kind young man. I think he truly loves me. For a long time, I was taken by fantasies, which did not make me happy, but now I am starting real life.” Eugene truly cared for his wife and supported her in her artistic career. Their only child, a daughter, Julie, was born four years after they married, when Berthe was already 37 years old. Her favorite artistic subject was the reality of family life – she painted her sister, husband and daughter. Her beloved work helped sustain her after the death of her husband, three years after which Berthe Morisot herself died of pneumonia. She was only 54 years old. Her daughter Julie continued her work. She also truly became a talented painters, and her style was similar to that of her mother. A unique character, an independent woman, who was an innovator for her time and was seen as audacious: with fortunate beginnings and until the end of her life remaining true to her chosen path and style. Berthe Morisot’s life was full of unexpected and odd events, and she herself was considered a big strange. Even now, many are amazed at how she was able to have such success and maintain such a rating for so long. She is worthy only of respect and nothing else.

– I know it had been many years that You had been living in Canada. How come You came to Armenia, what was Your motivation? I had first visited Armenia in 1985, to participate in a youth camp. I had gotten first impressions after the visit and I thought that I should come and live in Armenia. I have found few projects back in 1998 and visited Armenia once again; I volunteered in the village of Quarintak in Karabakh, where we repaired a church. And in 2001, I already went to Shushi, to see whether I could be living there with a child or not. We renovated the hospital of Shushi during the visit. At that time, the husband of mine Raffi and I, we have made a decision to live in Armenia by all means. It was Raffi who had first

found a job in Armenia; he applied for it, and we moved in here. As I didn’t want to sit with hands folded, I have decided that I should have been dealing with women’s rights protection as I had previously had noticed gender inequality prevalent among the society, the lower rank of the woman and, in general, the cases of abuse of women’s rights. I talked to Yerevan State University for this issue. I was referred to the faculty of Sociology as it was mostly there that

they would deal with gender research. We had discussions on several details with Gohar, had a plan drawn and started working with female students of the university on voluntary basis. They would discuss women’s rights together, gender inequality and discrimination towards women, and then, sexual rights and sexual health. In 2005, we left the university, rent an apartment, registered “Women’s Resource Center” non-profit organization and started applying for funding. And now, we work fully and joyfully. – Tell us a little bit about your goings-on; how come you decided to get involved into civic activism and Human Rights protection? Did you do so after arriving in Armenia? Prior to coming to Armenia, I was very active in lots of matters in Canada. I was involved in work and volunteerism both in the university and outside of the university. I was mostly preoccupied with people having disabilities and with pupils having visual impairment. I was active in Armenian issues in Armenian community as well. Meanwhile, I was very active in women’s organizations. I was also drawn in actions for combating poverty. We would claim state to provide housing to single mothers, we would seek abandoned state buildings, organize protests in front of them for the state not to demolish them, not to sell them for business purposes as long as our plea would not be satisfied. I also was very active in issues on mental health. I carry on my activism in Armenia, too. – You are working on creating and developing civil society; what is your success track, what changes have been made in that sphere? First of all, I reckon my personal transformation to be an achievement; I also have mastered new skills: team work, cooperating and working with people of different flavours, working in different ways.

young women may gather, discuss concerns they have and generally use the space the way they want to. I have also introduced some changes in the practice of management of our organization, furthermore trying to influence other NGOs (non-governmental organizations) in order to change their hierarchic relationship resting it in more horizontal position. The fact that I have started operating in a coalition is yet another success. One huge success for us was the fortune of founding women’s first ever resource centre in Karabakh, Shushi which was the first organization representing civil society there. – And what sort of hardships and obstacles have You faced during Your vocation? The first and the foremost obstacle is stemming from the society; you do something and they don’t support you, and vice versa, they somewhat hinder you. On the other hand, one shall be more watchful as freedoms of speech and expression are not protected in Armenia which is putting one and one’s activism in greater danger. True, anything terrible has never happened to me so far, yet there have been many threats. Another obstacle is the fact that there is no consensus among other organizations on the manner of attitude regarding the work on women’s rights and gender equality. As a result, the cooperation is harder to achieve, which is resulting in some shortcomings and we move on with difficulty, by devoting more time on solving the same exact problem. Having a big family and children is a little bit of obstacle; nonetheless I have also found the way to overcome it. – And how do You succeed in banding family and work together, still acing to be a good mother, an active woman and a civic activist? It all has to do with careful planning; if everything is well planned, then you can be a success in doing everything and being at time everywhere. I have a superb mechanism of assistance here;

in the family, outside of the family and among friends. Besides, I had been teaching my children from an early age to adapt themselves to my lifestyle. It is also a contribution to their unanimity; they lend a hand to each other. The society is child-centered here; they love them, they help out, care for them etc. My smallest child has to be a part of various conferences, actions, and that also serves to be a model of an active mother. Self-confidence is essential; when they see that you’ve got it, they are sure you will make it do. – Being so young, You’ve still earned sympathy and appreciation in the whole Armenian society. What does secure Your success? There is a pattern of continuity in what I do, that is to say it never happened an activity to be ceased when funding would be over, if dealing with women’s issues. Apart from that, I am involved in any action which has to do with the violation of Human Rights. If one is an activist, then one is an activist everywhere and always. Even if rights of a single person are not protect-

– Finally, as a skilled professional, an activist in civil society and, foremost, model woman, what would be Your advice to our youth and young citizens? The least I advise is them not to be silent when something is seen to be unjust. If one keeps silence about something, then one may remain silent in other affairs, and after that we will lose the control over the civic society. Young women should not be afraid of being activists as it bestows on a lot of opportunities, it is didactic, and one acquires many skills whilst being involved in activism, not by sitting in universities. If I were not involved in activism for so many years, I would not have had that much of experience. One shall not discount the possibilities and pros that activism and volunteerism make available.

Others speaking about Lara Aharonian Anoush Poghosyan, “Women’s Resource Center Armenia” NGO I know Lara since 2005. Lara can be singled out as a very kind, careful, meanwhile very strict and objective leader. I always admire the fact that she is able to combine her family and work, she manages to do a whole lot of things and she can be present at several places at once, full of energy. Lara is one of these exceptional persons that, methinks, had made important changes in the lives of many, and I am not an exception. I have learned, thanks to her, that if something disturbs you or is not fair, and then you shall fight it. I thank you Lara, for everything. I love you very much, and I love your humor and optimism above all. Raffi Niziblyan, Lara’s husband Lara is my muse, my inspiration and my partner in crime. Lara is someone with values, with a conscience, with a will. Lara is a great friend, a wonderful mother and dedicated activist and a sensual wife. Lara is intelligent; she is strong but also very sensitive. Lara is all that I would want in a woman. Best of all, when our kids are older, they will refer to their mother as a role model! Timothy Straight, Honorary Consul at Royal Norwegian Consulate, Finnish Honorary Consulate Lara never fails to amaze me. She fights for important issues, the right issues. She fights on the ground, in the streets, in the police stations and in the court rooms. She is always at the front, on the barricades. Fearless and determined, she is also graceful. She is focused. Lara, you are an inspiration. Nvard Margaryan

We are two Swedish students from Lund university, Gender department who have been given the great opportunity to be interns at Pink Armenia for almost four months. Our time in Armenia has been full of impressions. Most of our time has been spent in Yerevan and we have gotten to know the city quite well. During our stay we have been visiting Matenadaran where we saw the huge monument of Mashtots; we have been to the National History Museum and seen everything from the world’s oldest shoe to big phalluses; we have been walking around the stands at the vernisage with both old USSR objects and pieces of traditional Armenian art; we have been to the Cascade with its amazing view of Yerevan and we have been to opera and seen Aida. Yerevan is indeed a very masculine city with its angular construction and the many monuments of heroic men, depicted as stereotypes of masculinity. Mother Armenia watches over gray, cold buildings from her elevated plateau. With her sword and her strong appearance she challenges

the traditional female role. She is just one of the interesting things in Yerevan and Armenia as a whole. Post Soviet history meets ancient history, west meets east and everything is mixed together in this country between the mountains. We have been in this interesting city since the end of August and we have seen the seasons change. From hot summer with the streets of Yerevan boiling, to the streets covered in a thin layer of snow. We have grown very fond of the country and especially the people we have met here. They have made us see through the homogeneous façade and see that Yerevan is more diverse than might first be noticed. When we walked the streets of Yerevan, the first couple of times we only noticed men in black, shiny jackets and pointy shoes, women in high heels and policemen in really big hats. Then we realized that there is so much more to it. One thing by which we were impressed and surprised was the large number of non-governmental organizations (NGO) that work with women’s rights and gender equality. We have had the chance to meet with a lot of them and see the great things they are doing. Although the work being done regarding women’s rights is very inspiring and well needed, it is sad to notice that Pink Armenia’s work with LGBT issues is an exception. Both homophobia, transphobia and sexism need to be dealt with as they are strongly connected to each other. Overall our experience in Armenia has been refreshing, overwhelming, amazing, fun and life changing, but also hard, challenging and difficult. Most of all it has been inspiring and we really much would like to come back in the future.

Candlelight in memory of Zaruhi Petrosyan On October 3, next to the Swan Lake in Yerevan, “Coalition to stop violence against women” had organized candlelight to commemorate one-year anniversary of death of 20 years-old Zaruhi Petrosyan and to raise the level of awareness on domestic violence against women. Activists of various age groups joined the event lighting their candles with pain, remembering the story of the twenty years-old woman. The passers-by would approach the organizers and inquire on the purpose of the event and would respect Zaruhi’s memory as well. The passers-by would also be given fliers and booklets which contained hot-lines, they would also be asked not to be indifferent for the society and for their neighbors, as in case of Zaruhi, the social indifference has led to negative consequences. It is noteworthy that similar events were organized in Gexarqunik, Tavoush, Lori and Syunik

marzes where some activism was recorded on behalf of the public. It were especially men that would approach to the candles surrounding the image of Zaruhi, light them and respect her peace in silence. Moreover, they would call on others to approach as well and not to be indifferent. The court sentenced Yanis Sarkissov to ten years of imprisonment for murdering Zaruhi Petrosyan by beating. Sarkissov was charged by 14th point of second paragraph of 112nd law (if caused the death of the aggrieved by negligence, is punished with imprisonment for the term of 5 to 10 years) of Penal Code of RA. For such case, this was the gravest measure of punishment. As the lawyer of Sarkissov said, the involvement of representatives of the civil society per se has influenced the course of the case, and without pressure from the society, the case could have had a different outcome.

is a grave problem in Armenia and none of us is insured of it at our houses, workplaces, streets and other places. “Wall of shame” was in the list of actions as well, organized by “Women’s Resource Center” NGO, also various movie screenings, exhibits “Happy families” and “Which Way Home?” etc. Other events concerning violence against women and centered at public awareness raising were organised in Syunik, Lori, Armavir and Shirak marzes. Violence against women and girls is a serious problem both in the whole world and in Armenia. Women and girls are subjected to violence at home, in the streets, educational and work institutions; they deal with physical, psychological, sexual and domestic violence. Every third woman on Earth which was subjected to domestic violence also mentions that she was forced into a sexual relation. All over the world, the victims of domestic violence are women in 95 % cases.

On the occasion of World AIDS day, at the Kiev branch of Haypost, a stamp was created to commemorate HIV prevention efforts. In 20 largest mail companies of the world, stamps and other philatelist materials are also being issued on the occasion of World AIDS Day. Haypost also joined this initiative and printed thirty-thousand copies of this stamp. By evening, a public event took place near the Moscow Theater, where a multitude of prizes were laid out on tables. To receive those, passers-by had to answer the question attached to the prize. Only a few minutes after the event started, people were standing in line by the tables and everyone wanted to answer the questions to receive the prizes. From December 2 to 10, in Yerevan’s state and private universities, “HIV/AIDS and human rights” lectures were prepared and given, in which participated more than 200 students from different universities. In summary, the Advocacy Group on AIDS, which consists of four NGOs, “Public Information and Need of Knowledge”, “Real World, Real People”, “Women’s Resource Center”, “Positive People Armenian Network”, as well as UNAIDS, is the initiative which aims to perform cooperative activities to protect and advocate for the rights of vulnerable groups, as well as to point public attention towards the issue of sexual health.
