Ms. Roza Margaryan, a bed-confined brave woman

A neat and light house seemed a place where an energetic and still young couple with grown-up children live a happily-after life. But that was unfortunately an illusion which immediately evaporates after one enters the distant room, where a 69-year old woman with swollen abdomen and hyper blood pension was confined to bed for over 6 years, alone, just in the company of her old books and her daughter-in-law’s few pieces of outdated furniture.

Ms. Roza, formerly a happy wife, mother of 5 children, a strong woman with almost 30-years of work experience in the former Soviet Gyumri sock factory became a senile and abandoned weak woman who has no one to be cared of.

Advocacy, Lobbying and Network collaboration

“Armenian Caritas” acts as the voice of the voiceless when they are unable to speak for themselves and does so by “observing, analyzing and acting” to contribute to more just and cohesive society.

Advocacy is an organized attempt to change policy, practice and/or attitudes by presenting evidence and arguments for how and why change should happen. At the heart of advocacy is the assumption that change can happen through building awareness, presenting evidence and arguments for why change should happen, and engaging people who have the power to make those changes.
