Human Rights Defender of Armenia Anahit Manasyan sent a congratulatory message on the occasion of Motherhood and Beauty Day. It states, in particular:
"Dear women and girls, I warmly congratulate you on April 7, the Motherhood and Beauty Day.
This holiday is another opportunity to appreciate the role of women. Armenian women have been the strong pillar of our state for centuries, and even today their role in the development and stability of society is undeniable. Protection and promotion of women's rights, as well as their advancement in various spheres of public life, are among the key prerequisites for strengthening that foundation.
As the Human Rights Defender, the protection and promotion of women's rights are a priority for me. It is essential that the state continues to take consistent steps toward the sustained development of this field. In this process, it is crucial to overcome stereotypes, ensure equal opportunities, promote women's participation in decision-making processes, and support their full involvement in social and political life.
Particular attention must be paid to the field of education, where it is necessary to foster a correct understanding of the role of women and contribute to the elimination of stereotypical thinking.
Dear women and girls,
May this beautiful day be filled with warmth and appreciation.
Once again, I congratulate you on this beautiful holiday."
