YEREVAN.- PACE delegates will discuss the report of Committee on Equal Opportunities for Women and Men during the October plenary session, writes Aravot newspaper.

According to the Committee, pre-natal sex selection has reached “worrying proportions” in several Council of Europe member states, in particular Albania, Armenia and Azerbaijan where the ratio is 112 boys for 100 girls, and in Georgia where the ratio is 111 boys for 100 girls.

The Committee calls on these four countries to “investigate the causes and reasons behind skewed sex ratios at birth” and to step up their efforts to “raise the status of women in society”.
