    YEREVAN. - An Armenian woman who was severely beaten by her
    mother-in-law urges all women not to be afraid of voicing their
    problems and filing for divorce.

    Mariam Gevorgyan was one of the participants of an action organized
    by "Coalition to stop violence against women" on Tuesday near the
    building of the Armenian government.

    "By voicing their problems, Armenian women will be more protected. If
    you are silent, domestic violence will become graver. It can even
    lead to death, as in cases of Zaruhi and Maro," she told Armenian
    News-NEWS.am.

    Mariam says she had struggled for her rights, but absence of law
    makes it too difficult. Together with other participants, Mariam
    demands that the government must adopt a law preventing and punishing
    domestic violence. If a law is adopted, the number of cases will
    reduce dramatically, she said.
