The problem of gender inequality is one of the main reasons for children's vulnerability, the child's well-being is directly related to the social role of the mother. This is evidenced by the results of a study, entitled "Empowered Women Empowered Children," presented by World Vision Armenia.

This research explores women empowerment and children well-being factors in Armenia and looks at how women’s socio-demographic factors and empowerment components are associated with children’s well-being.

The research was conducted in the program areas of World Vision Armenia, and among 11- to 17-year-old children and their mothers.

The survey found that only 1% of these women in Armenia are empowered by all socio-economic and educational factors. Only a quarter of women surveyed said they could influence decision-making, and only a third could oversee the family's economic assets. Eighty-one percent of women surveyed are unable to manage their personal time, as housework and care of family members are entirely on their shoulders, whereas their husbands are responsible only for paid work and are minimally involved in the upbringing of their children. Sixteen percent of the women surveyed are subjected to various forms of violence. There are still many among them—37% of women surveyed—who accept gender-based violence as a norm.

The well-being of kids in Armenia was measured by a number of physical factors: education, nutrition, health, protection, as well as mental and social-psychological indicators. Only 1% of the surveyed children are prosperous according to all the aforementioned factors. All the interviewed children are involved in the education process, have a positive attitude towards education and want to continue it. Most of them get good or medium variety of food. Forty-three percent of the kids surveyed are abused and exploited, especially by their mothers and friends. Seventeen percent of children have heard of sexual violence in their community, and 13% have heard of cases of online violence.

According to the results of this research, education is the key factor contributing to the empowerment of women in Armenia. Women with higher education are more likely to enjoy freedom of movement and not be subject to gender-based restrictions.

The results of this study show also that the well-being of women and children in Armenia is generally low, as only 1% of them have the above-mentioned criteria for well-being, and this suggests that there is a direct link between the well-being of a mother and her child. The environment directly influences the formation of a child's system of values, and the child cannot develop and behave without discriminatory and harmful approaches in a family where the mother is subjected to many restrictions and discriminatory treatment.
