As we know, that only 1% of financial resources aimed at gender equality in the world go to women’s organizations, as well as having high regard to some previous research studies, discussion outcomes and needs assessments by partner organizations, the Women’s Fund Armenia has initiated another research that tackles the question of where the funds or financial resources intended for women’s organizations and aimed at ensuring their dignified activities are.

The ‘Femstory: Feminist oral stories archive’  project’s interviewers collected five stories from women human rights defenders who had experiences with anti-gender attaks and backclash due to the nature of their jobs. The collection includes short summaries of the collected oral stories, excerpts of which were also published in Armenian to encourage feminist researchers in this field to take advantage of the oral history’s methods richness and research the state of the Armenian women’s movement from a more critical standpoint.

Women’s Fund Armenia, Women’s Fund in Georgia, Ukrainian Women’s Fund, and filia.die frauenstiftung (Germany) commissioned the assessment of institutional and team resilience in their respective organizations, as well as partners.

The objective of the assessment is to measure the existing needs regarding institutional (i.e., financial, psycho-social, organizational) and team resilience.
