The goal of Towards Inclusive Elections was promote the creation disaggregated data on the political participation of women with disabilities in Armenia through research.
Within the frameworks of the project we carried out a research among 75 women and 75 men with different types of disabilities in Yerevan and in urban and rural areas of Shirak, Lori, Ararat and Armavir Region. We have involved men in this research too, in order to be able to show that women with disabilities are more excluded from political processes.
The project was implemented in collaboration with “Skarp” and “We Can” DPOs in Armenia. The leaders of both organizations contributed their expertise in working with youth with physical and intellectual disabilities.
The second stage of the project the surveys were carried out in urban and rural areas. We also disseminated the questionnaire online and had more respondents.
After the surveys were done, project sociologist analyzed the research and came up will clear recommendations.
The research is both quantitative and qualitative. As it is unique by its nature and direction it gave opportunity to find out gaps of this sphere.
The research is translated into English and published both in Armenian and English.
Project presentation was organized with the participation of representatives from NGOs CEC, political parties, local and state authorities.
