5 G E N D E R I S S U E S Gender statistics plays a key role in mainstreaming gender into policies of the state and serves as a tool to adequately assess and reflect the situation of women and men in economic, social and political spheres of the society. Gender statistics allows increasing public awareness about the status of women in relation to that of men and conducting systematic study of gender issues. The importance of gender statistics was strengthened at the Fourth World Conference on Women, referred to as Beijing 1995 in setting the generation and dissemination of gender-disaggregated data as strategic objectives for planning and evaluation 1. Discussions at the Conference focused on gender problems and possible action plan for their remedy, particularly in the field of educational information. The following procedures for collecting/presenting statistical data have been defined: According to Article 206 (a), national, regional, and international statistical agencies, as well as specialized government agencies cooperating with the scientific research institutions will provide the UN with the collection, processing, analysis, and presentation of information on age/sex composition of population, expressing the interrelationship and problems of women and men in the different sectors of society. According to the Article 207 (a), states (countries) should provide clear statistical publications on women and men. In 2000, during the preparatory meetings of Beijing+5 Conference organized by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), the monitoring of the implementation process formulas, adopted during the Fourth World Beijing Conference, was presented. A general trend has been identified for developing countries where the existing gender inequality delays the economic growth and produces negative impact on the poverty reduction activities. Gender inequality is strongly evident in low income countries and very poor households. In addition, it was mentioned that in the field of political decision-making, all the countries of the UNECE region share the following common features: 1 Platform for Action and the Beijing Declaration, Strategic Objective H.3, UN 1996 WOMEN AND MEN IN ARMENIA 5

7 In 2003, Republic of Armenia ratified the European Social Charter where enjoyment of social rights without discrimination on the ground of sex is a fundamental principle set forth in the preamble to the Charter. It addresses the issue of equality between women and men under two important angles, i.e. work and family. Also, the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP), in which equal rights and opportunities for men and women are emphasized, was elaborated by the mutual efforts of the RA Government, international organizations and civil society organizations. The National Action Plan (NAP) on Improving the Status of Women in the Republic of Armenia and Enhancing their Role in the Society , adopted by the RA Government, defines the principles, priorities, and key targets of the public policy that is pursued to address women s issues in the Republic of Armenia. NAP is based on the relevant provisions of the RA Constitution and is targeted Optional Protocol at the fulfillment of the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Violence against Women, the recommendations of the Fourth Beijing Conference, the UN Millennium Declaration requirements, the documents of the Council of Europe Committee for the Equality of Rights of Women and Men, and commitments of the Republic of Armenia under other international instruments. The NAP aims at supporting equal rights and opportunities for women and men, as a prerequisite to shape a democratic, social, and legal state and a flourishing civil society. THE NECESSITY OF GENDER STATISTICS In the statistics, women and men have to be visible. Gender statistics are to express the place and role of women and men in society taking into account the characteristics of both women and men as social-demographic groups, as well as the different socio-economic realities women and men face in the society. Gender statistics aims at providing impartial basis for comparing and evaluating progress towards the set goal of gender equality and women s empowerment. Gender statistics serve as an important tool and reference guide for gender advocates, policy makers, as well as activists in the field. Besides, presented data should be comprehensible and user-friendly. WOMEN AND MEN IN ARMENIA 7
