Around 25% of women in Armenia at least once have been subjected to domestic violence. 27% of 1000 women-respondents in Armenia have been subjected to physical violence, 12% of them have grave consequences. These figures have been provided by the Amnesty International experts.

The results of the survey, conducted in 2007-2008, showed that 66% of women in Armenia had been subjected to the psychological violence, and 7% of them, to the sexual violence. According to the survey, the psychological violence mainly prevails in families. Experts also state that despite the oppressive picture, however, Armenian women are not willing to wash their dirty linen in public, preferring to keep silence. The authorities also overlook the lawlessness within the cells of society either. According to the expert of the organization, Lorence Broerce, the authorities are doing nothing to create favorable conditions for women as long as there is no acting regulation or system in the country to defend and ensure long-term assistance to women-victims, be it providing them with support in finding job or in housing. He is of the opinion that there is a need in crucial changes of the attitude toward the urgent problem in the system of justice and society as a whole, which holds victims back from their quest for justice.
