Armenia has a complicated history when it comes to women's rights,  Al Jazeera reports.

The country boasts one of the first female diplomats in the modern world, dating back to 1918, and was one of the first states globally to grant women the right to vote.

However, since then, domestic violence, gender-based abortion rights and an obvious lack of female engagement in Nikol Pashinyan's government have seemingly set Armenian women back several decades - in spite of their highly tangible role in the protests that toppled Serzh Sargsyan in 2018.
