“Socioscope” NGO was founded in 2008 by Evelina Gyulkhandanyan, Anna Zhamakochyan, and Sona Manusyan to support civil society organizations working on human rights promotion by providing research-based knowledge.
Our mission is to foster the development of modern critical social thought in Armenia through research, translations, and educational initiatives.
Our research focuses on analyzing Armenian civil movements, civil society challenges, human rights, and gender issues, as well as the dominant collective knowledge surrounding power, sexuality, culture, nation, and issues related to war, peace, and future prospects.
Our studies aim to advance local critical and public sociology, contributing to social change in Armenia by publicizing critical research and fostering dialogue across different segments of society.
The organization is also a founding member of the “Human Rights House Yerevan” a human rights defending organization.
