Silvie Stepanyan

This year, I completed my college studies in service. I proudly identify as a strong feminist and am committed to educating the Armenian community about the various waves of feminism, its influential women, and its rich history. To achieve this, I translate and edit articles for Armenian Wikipedia and actively participate in educational gatherings focused on women’s rights and human rights in general.

What truly inspires me is witnessing young individuals explore the world and the people around them, driven by a sense of inner peace and kindness. I believe in following my unique path, trusting that things come to me when I truly need them.

In our initiative, my team and I are collaborating with young people from Gavar, a city referred to as Armenia’s ‚youth city’ for this year — despite the limited opportunities available to its young population.

What makes our initiative unique is that after each event, we come together to discuss shared interests for future gatherings. We explore self-care practices, use tools to strengthen our emotional intelligence, and share experiences across various fields.
