40 percent of children live in poverty in Armenia, Mira Antonyan, head of Child Protection Network, told reporters in Yerevan, presenting the results and future plans of the organization’s activities.

Child Protection Network includes more than a dozen NGOs that have rich experience in child protection, she noted.

“We aim to help children that face difficult situations. We must also support families, do our utmost for children to live in full-fledged families,” Mrs Antonyan said, adding that first of all, state control is needed in this field.

Child Protection Network cooperates with ChildPact Regional Black Sea Coalition for the Protection of Children, which unites more than 500 child protection organizations from 8 countries. Thus, the Network aims to influence decisions of EU and other global players, exchange experience as well as raise existing problems at regional level, she concluded.
