Join us for the second in our new series, Difficult Conversations, this time on the topic of gendered violence in times of conflict. We’re joined by specialist Anna Arutshyan, in conversation with Arpine Haroyan, to discuss a topic all too pressing in the aftermath of the second Karabakh/Artsakh war of 2020, and now again with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We’ll discuss issues such as the violence inflicted on women by armed forces in conflicts, the increase in domestic violence created by the trauma and hyper-masculinity of war, and more besides. In the spirit of the series, these challenging but important topics will be discussed in a safe space, talking with sensitivity while not shying away from the difficulty.

If you would like to join the event in our library, please email nik@armenianinstitute.org.uk as the places are limited.
