Why women's invisible “second shift" is holding back Armenia’s development

National data in Armenia tells us that women dedicate 4.5 times more unpaid care work than men. CivilNet sat down with Belén Sanz Luque, UN Women Regional Director for Europe and Central Asia, to explore the connection between gender equality, economic resilience, and peacebuilding in Armenia. Sanz Luque delves deep into how inclusive leadership is reshaping the South Caucasus, and how empowering women is not just a matter of human rights, but a cornerstone for the overall economic health and security of Armenian society.
