Human rights defender Anahit Manasyan sent a message on International Women's Day. The message specifically states:
Dear women, I heartily congratulate you on Women's Day.
March 8 is another occasion to highlight the importance of promoting and protecting women's rights and to combine efforts in that direction.
As a human rights defender, one of the essential directions of my work is the protection of women's rights, the prevention of any violence against women, and the fight against it.
Each of us should, by our example, contribute to forming and strengthening a harmonious social environment based on equality and promoting women's rights.
The steps taken to protect and promote women's rights in our country must continue. Overcoming stereotypes, creating equal opportunities, ensuring women's participation in decision-making, and promoting women's potential in social and political life are extremely important for successfully implementing that process.
Dear women, once again, I congratulate you on this beautiful holiday."
