Discrimination against transgender people in Armenia manifests itself in a variety of ways. The general public attitude towards the trans community is extremely hostile. The word ‘homosexual’ (trans people are mostly assumed to be homosexuals in Armenia) is used as an insult and in attacks against political opponents, even among various governmental bodies and within the church. Trans people are hiding because the general attitude states that they are ill and were born sick. Trans people are also often seen as committing sinful or “abnormal” behaviour, a problem for society, often linked together with child abuse and commercial sex. Armenian society still thinks homosexuals and trans people are the main vectors of HIV/AIDS and STIs. Armenia does not have legislation regarding hate crimes or hate speech. There is no official mechanism for legal gender recognition, and gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation are not covered by any laws. The option of going to court or reporting to the police, even to human rights organisations or the ombudsman’s office, involves having to deal with personally sensitive aspects of one’s life and involves the risk of public exposure or another attack. As a result, hate crimes and hate-motivated incidents often go unrecorded. The victims usually refuse to report the attack as they do not believe that they would receive any help from the police or any ARMENIA Within the framework of this project, informational materials developed by TGEU were translated into Armenian, including stickers, flyers, and video materials. The hate crime monitoring system was also translated into Armenian, making it easier for Armenian community to report cases. FOR THE RECORD 2016 | 13 governmental local and international stakeholders in Armenia. Several slogans, flyers, and stickers were developed in Armenian and used during the informational campaign. As a result, some of the stakeholders contacted us to discuss trans rights in Armenia in more depth, as well discussing ways in which to collaborate with us. This campaign also aims to advocate for the inclusion of trans issues on the agenda of institutions such as the European Union, United Nations agencies, and diplomatic missions in the country.
