📌 Նոյեմբերի 25-ը՝ Կանանց նկատմամբ բռնության կանխարգելման միջազգային օր

▪️15-59 տարեկան կանանց 13,5%-ը ենթարկվել է ֆիզիկական բռնության։

▪️Կանանց 6,6%-ը բարձրաձայնել է սեռական բռնության մասին։

▪️Զուգընկերոջ կողմից բռնության ենթարկված կանանց 43,3%-ը սեռական բռնության մասին չի բարձրաձայնում: Պատճառներից մեկը վախն է:

Ժամանակն է կոտրել լռությունը, կանխարգելել վնասակար նորմերը և աջակցել վերապրածներին: Միասին մենք կարող ենք ստեղծել ավելի ապահով, ավելի արդար աշխարհ բոլոր կանանց և աղջիկների համար:

🫂 Այսօր մենք միասին ասում ենք Ո՛Չ կանանց և աղջիկների նկատմամբ բռնության բոլոր ձևերին Հայաստանում և ամբողջ աշխարհում:

Ֆիզիկական և հոգեբանական բռնությունից մինչև առցանց ոտնձգություն և խտրականություն, կանայք բախվում են անհամար խնդիրների, որոնք սպառնում են նրանց անվտանգությանն ու բարեկեցությանը:

In June 2022, Ukraine and Moldova embarked on a pivotal journey towards EU membership, marked by their elevation to candidate status. Despite opening accession negotiations in December 2023, both face significant challenges ahead.

🔍 Ukraine's war-torn economy needs massive reconstruction, estimated at $486 billion, while Moldova contends territorial disputes in Transnistria. These hurdles underscore the complex path to EU integration, requiring substantial reforms, particularly in governance and anti-corruption efforts.

💡 Inspired by Croatia's journey, Ukraine and Moldova's EU aspirations highlight the necessity of overcoming geopolitical and economic barriers. With the EU's financial and administrative support, both nations are working towards meeting the stringent criteria for membership.

📈 The road ahead is daunting but crucial for their integration into the European Union. As they navigate these challenges, international support and commitment to reforms will be key to their success.

🌟 First 60 Seniors Complete Digital Training

"Everything is easy when you know how, and I don't – that's why I came to learn," remarked 75-year-old Budimir, one of the initial 60 participants of the digital literacy training for senior citizens organised by the Delegation of the European Union in Serbia, as part of the "Everything is Easy When You Know How" campaign.

The workshops will take place in Belgrade, Niš, and Novi Sad, as well as several other cities across Serbia, from February to June 2024.

About the campaign:
As a component of the Campaigns in Serbia project, GDSI is leading an integrated information and communication campaign titled 'Digital Literacy of the Elderly.'📱💻 This integrated information and communication campaign aims to showcase the invaluable benefits of digital skills for seniors, while also fostering intergenerational solidarity and promoting positive sentiments towards the EU among Serbian citizens.

Our strategy? We're leveraging TVCs, radio ads, and engaging social media content and billboards to encourage action and educate the elderly on digital literacy, paving the way for improved quality of life with EU support.

But that's not all! We're also rallying the younger generation to join the cause, inspiring them to actively participate and share their digital know-how with the elderly. Together, we're creating a community where everyone can thrive.

Let's bridge the digital divide and build a brighter future for all generations! 💫

🌟 Did you know that Switzerland is making a remarkable impact on Serbia's EU accession reforms? The European Commission's Serbia 2022 Report highlighted the EU's push for governance system reforms to enhance managerial accountability, sound financial management, and external audit of public funds. 📊

Enter the RELOF3 programme, one of the driving forces propelling Serbia towards EU accession, with a specific focus on Chapter 32 requirements. 🚀
It's all about transforming Public Finance Management (PFM) in Serbia, strategically allocating resources, and enhancing accountability and effectiveness in the local public sector.

📈 In RELOF3, the spotlight is on PFM, including Internal Audit and Financial Management Control. But here's the thrilling part: External Audit support is on the horizon—marking a pivotal milestone! 🌐

Furthermore, RELOF3 is championing managerial accountability and performance management to bolster Serbia's public sector's efficiency and accountability.

These reforms aren't happening by chance; they're thoughtfully aligned with Serbia's government policies and planning, including the PFM Programme. The EU closely watches these efforts, a pivotal aspect of their annual progress reports for Serbia.

Switzerland's unwavering support is a driving force behind enhancing managerial accountability, corporate governance, and public sector reform. Together, we're paving the way for Serbia to meet EU and international standards, bringing EU accession within reach!
