The aim of the “Reducing Discrimination in Armenia” project is to identify cases of discrimination during the pre-conscription processes against GBTQ+ persons, national minorities, persons with disabilities, and other cultural identities, including subcultures and countercultures, and prepare a comprehensive report, and to conduct an informational campaign to launch a public discourse to minimize discrimination and violence.
“DiverCity” NGO will also prepare an informational video on the prevention of discrimination based on the report as well as a handbook on human rights for GBTQ + individuals, national minorities, persons with disabilities and other cultural identities, including those with countercultures and subcultures. It is also planned to provide training for the staff of military commissariats and mental health centers.
