As a contribution to the current research of UNFPA Armenia, this paper aims to identify best practices for the prevention of prenatal sex selection by examining previously successful instruments and campaigns internationally and then giving concrete recommendations for action in Armenia. It takes into consideration the specific notion of the phenomenon in Armenia as presented in the recent UNFPA report on “Prevalence of and Reasons for Sexselective Abortions in Armenia”. This research is based on interviews with representatives from international, governmental and nongovernmental organizations that deal with preventing sex-selective abortions. It is also based on a desk review and analysis of literature on the prevention of prenatal sex selection and normalization of skewed sex ratio at birth (SRB).
