AGMI researchers expose the hidden role of female perpetrators in the Armenian Genocide

YEREVAN — The Armenian Genocide Museum‑Institute (AGMI) has announced the publication of a pioneering article, “In the Shadow of Genocide: Female Perpetrators of the Armenian Genocide,” in the international journal Women’s History Review.

Authored by Drs. Edita Gzoyan, Elina Mirzoyan and Regina Galustyan, the study explores a largely overlooked aspect of the Armenian Genocide: the role of women as active participants and perpetrators. Drawing on rare archival materials, survivor testimonies and contemporary accounts, the research reveals how gender, ideology and power intersected in processes of violence and complicity during the genocide.
