A Woman has a Thousand Hearts Anahit Hayrapetyan
It’s already a long time I now and then return to the same topic – the abuse and violence against women. Working for years in Armenia on the same topic I have gained much experience and it may seem to you that you are ready to listen to such stories more or less with a cold heart. But it is not possible to listen to such stories without tears. Years ago one of my friends told me in a conversation that in Tajikistan women got divorced even through sms. How come? I jumped on my feet. Years passed after that, and those women never left my mind. Our problems are the same. There too, as in Armenia, men go to work abroad, marry and stay in Russia, and very often divorce their wives through an sms, if those are just religious marriages. But lately, the law prohibits those kind of divorces, but those, nevertheless, exist.
