On 29 October 2021 the online presentation of the report on ”Gender Impact Assessment: the Judicial Code of Armenia and its Derivative Legal Acts” took place within the framework of the Partnership for Good Governance (PGG II) Project ”Support to the judicial reform – enhancing the independence and professionalism of the judiciary in Armenia”, funded by the European Union and the Council of Europe and implemented by the Council of Europe.
To contribute to the gender mainstreaming in the local legislation Gender Impact Assessment (GIA) of the Judicial Code of Armenia and several deriving legal acts was conducted by the international consultant of the Council of Europe within the framework of the Project. The central question that GIA asks is whether the Judicial Code of the Republic of Armenia and the deriving legal acts reduce, maintain or increase the gender inequalities between women and men. The report tries to estimate different effects – positive, negative or neutral of the laws in terms of gender equality.
